S2K000047 PCI-X 2.0 Server & Storage Adapter

Xframe II S2K000047 adapter is fully compliant with the PCI-X 2.0 Mode II specification and the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard. This card supports short range copper connection on a CX4 copper interface for distances up to 15metres. Xframe II is the industry's first 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter taking advantage of the PCI-X 2.0 bus architecture. It doubles the data rate delivered by the earlier bus standard (PCI-X 1.0) and unleashes the full line speed of 10 Gb/sec. It allows data center managers faced with exponentially increasing bandwidth needs to boost their network's performance while preserving their investment in Ethernet. The Xframe product family offers a unique multi-channel device model. A total of eight independent transmit and receive paths are available and each path may be prioritized for true Quality-of-Service support. By combining this novel architecture with the power of Extended Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI-X), Neterion has established a leading-edge framework for I/O Virtualization. Capitalizing on Ethernet, the proven industry-standard for 30 years, the Xframe II 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter allows end-users to preserve their existing environment: operating systems, network administration tools, core cabling, personnel training, etc. Xframe II dramatically increases network performance, eliminates bottlenecks resulting from the explosion of data volumes, frees-up server and user-level bandwidth, boosts application response and slashes data backup times. Xframe II is fully compliant with the PCI-X 2.0 Mode II specification and the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard. The Xframe II host system interface is a 64-bit, 133 MHz (DDR) capable PCI-X bus. The Xframe network interface is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link, using standardized PMD (Physical Media Dependent) devices to ensure ready interoperability. All Xframe products include full IPv4 and IPv6 support, and comprehensive stateless offloads that preserve the integrity of current TCP/IP implementations without "breaking the stack." Xframe drivers are available for all major Operating Systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux (included in the Kernel), Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX, IBM's AIX, Sun's Solaris and SGI's Irix. All Neterion products are designed to be fully software forward-compatible with future releases. Test results from leading OEM evaluation labs on the features and benefits of Xframe II, compared to 1 Gigabit Ethernet show up to 10x higher throughput, 50% lower latency, TCP processing overhead reduced by 40% and up to 10-fold reduction in cabling expense.
