Chelsio S302E Internal Ethernet 1000Mbit/s

S302E, Cat5, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-E <b>The ‘UnifiedWire’Solution</b>
With these adapters, Chelsio is delivering on the promise of the ‘unified wire,’ enabling the convergence of server networking, storage networking, and cluster computing interconnects onto a single platform and a single fabric. 1Gb Ethernet-only networking reduces the data center’s cost in network adapters, cables, switches, rack space, power, equipment spares, management tools, planning, networking skills, and installation.

<b>Fully Featured ServerAdapter</b>
Chelsio’s multi-port 1GbE adapters offer best-of-class performance and features, including IP/UDP/TCP checksum and large send offload, rate control and QoS, virtualization, and rule-based traffic steering and filtering.

<b>Third-Generation Protocol Offload Engine</b>
These adapters employ Chelsio’s unique third-generation Terminator 3ASIC, a high-performance, programmable protocol processor. Terminator 3 processes all connections in a single datapath to deliver line-rate 1Gbps or 10Gbps performance with one connection, up to thousands of connections. In contrast, competitive multi-RISC offload engines, which rely on having enough connections to distribute their processing among parallel processors to achieve full performance, are ultimately limited by the performance of each processor.

<b>Complete and FlexibleTCPOffload</b>
The Terminator 3 ASIC has hundreds of programmable registers for protocol configuration, RFCs, and offload control. Chelsio’s multi-port 1GbE adapters can offload TCP processing per-connection, per-server, per-interface, and globally and simultaneously tunnel traffic from non-offloaded connections to the host processor for the native TCP/IP stack to process. These adapters provide a flexible zero copy capability for regular TCP connections, requiring no changes to the sender, to deliver line rate performance at minimal CPU utilization.

<b>Upper Layer Protocols</b>
Chelsio’s multi-port adapters offload the expensive byte touching iSCSI operations and payload placement to greatly accelerate iSCSI performance for IP SAN applications while maintaining flexibility. The iSCSI protocol itself can be implemented by vendors to provide product differentiation. These adapters also implement a high-capacity, low-latency, high-bandwidth iWARP RDMA/RDDP,which adheres to the IETF standards.

<b>Robust, Proven Solution</b>
Subjected to thousands of hours of compatibility testing, over three years of stress testing by severalOEMtest suites and production deployments in servers, storage systems and cluster computing, Chelsio’s robust, stable protocol offload technology delivers proven performance in a wide range of environments. Chelsio’s adapters are generations ahead of competing products.

<b>Software Drivers</b>
Chelsio offers a full suite of protocol software and drivers for the S302E adapters. See www.chelsio.com/support for latest info. The software supports operation in both protocol-offload and non-offload modes.
