The EP8112 also preserves familiar FC concepts such as WWNs, FC-IDs, LUN masking, and zoning, thereby eliminating training costs that are usually required for a new storage technology. This convergence also means fewer cables, fewer switches, less power consumption, reduced cooling, and easier management. Now, one ASIC can do the work of both Fibre Channel and Ethernet controllers. The EP8112 reduces data center costs through convergence.

Additionally, full hardware offload for FCoE protocol processing reduces system CPU utilization for I/O operations, which leads to faster application performance and higher levels of consolidation in virtualized systems. Cutting edge 10Gbps bandwidth eliminates performance bottlenecks in the I/O path with a 10X data rate improvement versus existing 1Gbps Ethernet solutions. Speed and full hardware offload for FCoE protocol processing. The EP8112 boosts system performance with 10Gbps Initiators, which are available with all major operating systems.
