T404-BT, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-E, Cat-5
Chelsio’s T404-BT is a quad port 1 Gigabit Ethernet Unified Wire adap-ter with PCI Express 2.0 host bus interface, optimized for cloud compu-ting, HPC, virtualization, storage, and other data center applications.
The fourth-generation (T4) technology from Chelsio provi des the highest 1GbE performance available and dramatically lowers host- system CPU communications overhead with on-board hard-ware that off-loads TCP/IP, iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP RDMA processing from its host system. T404-BT frees up host CPU cycles for useful applications. The system achieves increased band-width, lower latency, and lower power.
<b>The Unified Wire Solution</b>
With the T404-BT, Chelsio is enabling a unified wire for LAN, SAN and cluster traffic. This unified wire was made possible by the high band-width and low latency of 1GbE combined with storage and cluster proto-cols operating over TCP/IP (iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP respectively). In parallel, operating systems and hypervisors have incorporated native support for iSCSI and database applications are now supporting file- based storage protocols such as NFS as an alternative to SANs.
T404-BT includes a full-fledged integrated Traffic Manager for robust flow control, traffic management and QoS.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) provides a transition path from leg-acy SANs to converged networks. Expanding its unified wire approach, Chelsio has added FCoE hardware support to the new T404-BT adapter.
The adapter’s quad ports and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation/failover features are ideal for critical network applications that require redun-dancy and high-availability capabilities.
T404-BT 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.
