Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server Adapter Intel® 82580EB Based

Product Description

Silicom’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server

adapter is designed for Servers and high-end appliances. The

performance is optimized so that system I/O is not the bottleneck in

high-performance networking applications.

Silicom’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter enable fault-tolerant via teaming. Traffic from the failed

port is routed through other members of the team. Sil

icom’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter has

an integrated hardware acceleration that performs TCP/UDP/IP checksum

offload and TCP segmentation.

The host processing offloads accelerators frees CPU for application processing.

Sili

com’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter is the

ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-

powered networking applications and environments within high performance

servers.

Silicom’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet server adapter is based on Intel

82580 Quad port Gigabit Ethernet MAC+PHY of Intel Controller.
