Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server Adapter
This product has been discontinued – EOL Notification
Silicom’s Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter is PCI-Express X8 SFP Gigabit Ethernet network interface card that contain Multiple Gigabit ports on a PCI-Express adapter.
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule 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 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter enable fault-tolerant via teaming. Traffic from the failed port is routed through other members of the team.
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule 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.
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter is the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers.
