Chelsio T422-CR Internal Ethernet 10000Mbit/s

T422-CR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-E, LC Duplex Chelsio’s T422-CR is a quad port (2x10GbE and 2x1GbE ports) Ether-net Unified Wire adapter with PCI Express 2.0 host bus interface, opti-mized for cloud computing, HPC, virtualization, storage, and other data center applications.

The fourth-generation (T4) technology from Chelsio pro-vides the highest 10GbE perf- ormance available and dram- atically lowers host-system CPU communications overhead with on-board hardware that off-loads TCP/IP, iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP RDMA processing from its host system. T422-CR frees up host CPU cycles for useful appli-cations. The system achieves in-creased bandwidth, lower laten-cy, and lower power.

<b>The Unified Wire Solution</b>
With the T422-CR, 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 10GbE combined with storage and cluster pro-tocols 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.
T422-CR 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 T422-CR adapter.

The adapter’s ports and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation/failover features are ideal for critical network applications that require redundancy and high-availability capabilities.

T422-CR 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.
