This product has been discontinued – EOL Notification
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter is a PCI-Express X8 network interface card that contains four Gigabit SFP ports on a PCI-Express adapter.
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter is designed for Servers and high-end appliances. The adapter is designed for multi-core processors and optimized for virtualization.
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express 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 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.
Silicom’s Quad Port SFP 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 SFP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter is based on Intel 82576 Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet MAC+PHY of Intel Controller.
