Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server Adapter Intel® Based

This product has been discontinued – EOL Notification

Silicom’s Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapters are PCI-Express Server Adapters cards that contain Multiple / Single Gigabit ports/ on a PCI-Express adapter.

Silicom’s Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapters are 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 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapters enable fault-tolerant via teaming.

Traffic from the failed port is routed through other members of the team. Silicom’s Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express 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.

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