Unified Wire Adapters

The Future of High Speed Interconnect is Here! Chelsio’s Terminator 6 (T6) Unified Wire Adapters


Chelsio is delivering the future of high speed interconnect with its sixth generation technology, the Terminator 6 (T6) Unified Wire Adapters.

T6 adapters are the only single chip, single firmware cards that can fully offload the following over a single Unified Wire.

Ideal for all data, storage and high performance clustering applications, these high performance adapters enable a unified fabric over a single wire by simultaneously running all unmodified IP sockets, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications over Ethernet at line rate. Designed for deployment in virtualized datacenters, cloud service installations and high performance computing environments, these adapters bring a new level of performance metrics and functional capabilities to the computer networking industry. In addition, support for integrated TLS/SSL, DTLS, IPsec and SMB 3.X crypto in the T6 adapters enable concurrent secure communication and secure storage, all for the price and power of a typical NIC.
