10G 2*SFP+ Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Server Network Card

--ATEFC10G-2SFP+

Description

 ATEFC10G-2SFP+ Server Adapters with SFP+ connectivity are the most flexible and scalable Ethernet adapters to meet the demands of today’s data center environments. Data center networks are being pushed to their limits. The escalating deployments of servers with multi-core processors and demanding applications such as High Performance Computing (HPC), database clusters, and video-on-demand are driving the need for 10 Gigabit connections. Customers require flexible and scalable I/O solutions to meet the rigorous requirements of running mission-critical applications in virtualized and unified storage environments.

Unified Networking and Storage

 The family of ATEFC10G-2SFP+ 10G server adapters lowers your data center total cost of ownership (TCO) by providing the ability to route LAN and SAN traffic over a single fabric.

Support for Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

FCoE encapsulates Fiber Channel frames over standard Ethernet networks, enabling Fiber Channel to take advantage of 10 GbE networks while preserving its native protocol. ATEFC10G-2SFP+ server adapter offer FCoE hardware acceleration to provide performance comparable to FC HBAs. The server adapters support Data Center Bridging, also known as Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), which allows customers to configure traffic classes and priorities to deliver a lossless Ethernet fabric. An Intel Ethernet X520 server adapter reduces TCO by eliminating redundant fabrics and saves the cost of expensive FC HBAs and FC switch ports.

Support for iSCSI

 The server adapters provide complete support for proven native OS and VMM iSCSI initiators as well as iSCSI boot. Historically, CRC32C computation has degraded system performance, but now with the CRC instruction set included in the latest Intel® Xeon® processors, CRC validation is possible with minimal impact to network throughput while delivering superior data integrity.

The ATEFC10G-2SFP+ server adapters do it all 10 Gigabit LAN, FCoE, and iSCSI; truly delivering on the promise of unified networking.

Reliable Performance

The family of ATEFC10G-2SFP+ 10G server adapters include a number of advanced features that allow it to provide industry-leading performance and reliability.

Security Optimizations

The adapters support IPsec offload for Microsoft’s Network Access Protection (NAP), Active Directory,* and future security capabilities in Windows* 7. A 10G server adapter allows customers to run a secure network environment without sacrificing performance.
