Chelsio 10GbE Expansion Card (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter - Network adapter - PCI Express x8 - 10 Gigabit Ethernet - 2 ports

Chelsio's S320EM-BCH 10GbE Storage Accelerator is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet mezzanine card with PCI Express host bus interface for IBM BladeCenter H, optimized for storage applications. The third-generation technology from Chelsio provides higher 10GbE performance and lowers host-system CPU communications overhead. With on-board hardware that offloads TCP/IP, iSCSI, and iWARP RDMA processing from its host system, the S320EMBCH frees up host CPU cycles for useful applications. The system achieves increased bandwidth, lower latency, and lower power. This combination makes it practical to converge other networks that traditionally used niche technologies onto 10GbE. High bandwidth and extremely low latency make 10GbE with protocol offload the best technology for high-performance cluster computing (HPCC) fabrics. The S320EM-BCH also accelerates the iSCSI protocol for block-level storage traffic between servers and storage systems. With high-speed iSCSI, 10GbE is the best technology for storage area networks. The adapter's two ports and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation/failover features are ideal for critical network applications that require redundancy and high-availability capabilities. With the S320EM-BCH, Chelsio is delivering on the promise of the "wire," enabling the convergence of server networking, storage networking, and cluster computing interconnects onto a single platform and a single fabric. 10Gb Ethernet-only networking reduces the data center cost in network adapters, cables, switches, rack space, power, equipment spares, management tools, planning, networking skills, and installation.
