Silicom’s Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter is PCI-Express X8 Copper Gigabit Ethernet network interface card that contain Multiple / Single Gigabit port/s on a PCI-Express adapter.

Silicom’s Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express 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 Six Port Copper 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 Six Port Copper 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 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.
