What is a Converged Network Adapter?
A Converged Network Adapter is a multifunction adapter that combines the capabilities of a Fibre Channel adapter and an Ethernet NIC. A Converged Network Adapter provides simultaneous Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic over a shared 10Gb Ethernet link. Deploying Converged Network Adapters lowers costs through reduced adapter, switch, cabling, power, cooling, and management requirements.
