PXG2Fi - Dual Port Fiber Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X Server Adapter Intel® based

The Silicom Gigabit Ethernet Servers adapters are 64-bit/133Mhz PCI-X network interface cards that contain six/ four/ two independent Gigabit ports on one PCI-X adapter.

Silicom Gigabit Ethernet Server adapters are the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers.

Silicom Gigabit Ethernet Server adapters have an integrated hardware acceleration that performs TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload and TCP segmentation. The host processing offloads accelerators frees CPU for application processing.

Advanced Network Software Features
Silicom Gigabit Ethernet Server adapters supports advanced Networks software suite. The software suite includes increased fault tolerance, bidirectional load balancing, port aggregation, Jumbo Frame support, VLAN and server management Software for increased bandwidth, scalability, reliability and network availability.
