The increased demands on the Microsoft Exchange Server make it critical to optimize the server’s I/O performance in the SAN. The QLogic 10000 Series 8Gb Fibre Channel Adapter meets that need for high performance. By integrating a unique I/O caching architecture with Fibre Channel connectivity, the 10000 Series Adapter significantly increases the performance of transactional I/O (IOPS) and I/O read latency for large Exchange data volumes. This combined approach of enterprise server I/O with server-based I/O caching using flash memory delivers dramatic and smoothly scalable application performance.
