The Flex System CN4054 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapters is 4-port 10Gb converged network adapters (CNA) for Intel processor-based compute nodes that support Ethernet, iSCSI, and FCoE. The adapters support up to eight virtual NIC (vNIC) devices, where each physical 10 GbE port can be divided into four virtual ports with flexible bandwidth allocation. The CN4054 Virtual Fabric Adapter Upgrade adds FCoE and iSCSI hardware initiator functionality to either adapter.
