"According to Herman Chao, Brocade's senior director of product management for server connectivity, the adapters support Server Application Optimization (SAO) technology to dynamically assign bandwidth to virtualized end ports.

"Chao says additional features will be added to Brocade's adapters in the coming months, including N_Port trunking, which turns two 8Gbps ports into a single logical 16Gbps fat pipe."
