The QLogic Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ Embedded Virtual Fabric Adapter (VFA) is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed to fit in to a dedicated slot in servers such as the IBM® System x3650 M4 and x3550 M4. This card design allows you to use the server's standard PCIe slots for other technologies. The adapter connects to SFP+ Multimode Fiber SR optical modules and DAC cables. With the addition of a license upgrade (support planned for late 4Q/2012), this adapter also supports full hardware offload for the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol or iSCSI processing.
