Based on industry-standard PCIe architecture, the Flex System EN4172 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter allows Intel processor-based compute nodes to scale up to eight virtual ports and offers the flexibility to operate as a virtual network interface card (vNIC). Because the EN4172 mezzanine card can support eight vNICs, IT organizations can reduce their data centre footprint by deploying less hardware and realize significant benefits in reduced power, cooling and costs.


“QLogic is gaining momentum in the 10GbE adapter market through collaborations with large OEM customers such as Lenovo,” said Vikram Karvat, vice president of products, marketing and planning, QLogic. “We’ve enhanced our portfolio of 10GbE technology to deliver superior performance and exceptional value, arming Lenovo with a competitive advantage. Our ongoing partnership with Lenovo is a key contributor to QLogic’s growing presence in China and around the globe.”


“Data centres today require flexible, cost-effective solutions that can simplify access to networked resources,” said Jeff Howard, vice president, Flex System and BladeCenter, Lenovo. “The Flex System EN4172 adapter’s robust, manageable design provides the performance, availability and reliability required for the most demanding, virtualised environments.”
