T420-BT, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-E, Cat-6a
Chelsio’s T420-BT is a dual port 10GBase-T 10 Gigabit Ethernet Unified Wire adapter with PCI Express 2.0 host bus interface. It is capable of providing two 10GbE ports by using standard RJ-45 connectors with Twisted Pair Cat-6a cables.
<b>The Unified Wire Solution</b>
With the T420-BT, Chelsio is enabling a unified wire for LAN, SAN and cluster traffic. This unified wire was made possible by the high bandwidth and low latency of 10GbE combined with storage and cluster protocols 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 filebased storage protocols such as NFS as an alternative to SANs.
T420-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 legacy SANs to converged networks. Expanding its unified wire approach, Chelsio has added FCoE hardware support to the new T420-BT adapter.
The adapter’s quad ports and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation/failover features are ideal for critical network applications that require redundancy and high-availability capabilities.
T420-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.
