10GbE Accelerated Adapters

For any data center networking problem -
supporting more users, more data or more transactions, reducing reaction or wall-clock times, improving server utilization - NetEffect 10GbE adapters can help. They give servers simultaneous high-performance access to scale-out (clustering), data, and storage networks, bringing the benefits
of exceptional wire-speed bandwidth, industry-leading low latency, and unbeatable CPU availability to every application. Ultra-low power and cooling requirements result in tremendous power efficiencies and support higher computing densities within the same power envelope. Outperforming both InfiniBand and competitive Ethernet solutions, NetEffect 10GbE adapters and blade adapters can help every data center overcome its most demanding networking challenges.

NE020 10Gb Accelerated Ethernet Adapters

Highlights
  • Full-function data center NIC with support for storage and clustering protocols
  • Industry-leading low latency delivers faster response times and sustained, predictable performance under load even in multiple-connection environments such as multi-core, multi-processor nodes, high-performance computing, and virtualized server implementations
  • Exceptional bandwidth shortens application processing times
  • Higher compute densities facilitated through low power consumption, one-third the power of unaccelerated 10Gb adapters and the lowest of any 10Gb accelerated Ethernet adapter available
  • Unmatched CPU availability through efficient network processing offload
  • One adapter replaces three
    - Single firmware image simplifies installation
    - Cuts adapter power up to 80%
    - Eliminates fixed adapter provisioning of server/applications enabling fewer
      servers to handle the application load
  • Instant, transparent support for all applications, simply install and go
    - Support for broad range of industry standard APIs
    - Requires no modification, re-compilation, or porting of existing applications
  • Hardware-class performance for virtualized applications
