The Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet Networking Cards which incorporate the Intel 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller, are designed to meet the throughput and latency requirements of bandwidth-hungry applications such as High Performance Computing, database clusters and video-on demand. In addition, these Sun 10 GbE cards offer advanced features for higher throughput, lower CPU utilization and virtualization. Ideal for slot-constrained environments, the Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet Cards provide a simplified alternative to multiple 1 GbE cards for Sun's portfolio of x64 servers and Blade Servers.
At a Glance
- Dual and single port 10 GbE networking cards for Sun x64 servers incorporating the Intel 82598 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
- Receive-side Scaling, Advanced packet filtering, Direct Cache Access,TCP segmentation/Large Send Off-loading (LSO): improve throughput, balance network loads across CPU cores and lower CPU utilization for multi-core processors (dependency on the feature availability in the server Operating System)
- Optimized for virtualized environments, supporting multiple queues and alleviating I/O bottlenecks between virtual machines
- Low-profile cards with integrated XFP SR Transceivers (non pluggable) for standard and low-profile PCIe slots in servers
- ExpressModule with SFP+ Pluggable Transceivers for Blade Servers
Key Applications
- Fast database access and backup
- Large data warehousing
- Web infrastructure
- Cluster computing and HPC/Grid
- Video streaming
- IP/TV
Sun Multithreaded 10 GbE Networking Cards
Sun also markets a family of 10GbE PCIe multithreaded networking cards for the Sun rack and blade servers which offer
application acceleration and I/O virtualization for chip multi-threading
(CMT) server platforms.
