Chelsio T3 1Gb Unified Wire Adapters
Chelsio’s multiport 1 Gigabit Ethernet adapters are optimized for storage applications. The third-generation technology from Chelsio provides the highest 1GbE performance available and dramatically lowers host-system CPU communications overhead.
With on-board hardware that offloads TCP/IP, iSCSI, and iWARP RDMA processing from its host system, the adapters free up host CPU cycles for useful applications. The system achieves increased bandwidth, lower latency, and lower power.
Highlights
- ‘Unified Wire’ interconnect solution for server networking, storage networking, and clustering on a single platform
- Full TCP offload, iSCSI, and iWARP RDMA plus direct data placement (DDP)
- All of Chelsio’s adapters are fully compatible with leading third-party iSCSI Target and Initiator software solutions
- Reduces host CPU utilization by up to 90% compared to NICs without full offload capabilities
- PCI Express x4 host bus interface
- Line-rate 1Gbps full-duplex performance
- Integrated traffic manager, QoS, and virtualization capabilities
- TCP sockets, SCSI, RNIC-PI, kDAPL, and OpenFabrics software interfaces
- Powerful per-connection, per-server, and per-interface configuration and control
- Provides flexible zero-copy on RX and TX for regular TCP applications, requiring no changes to the sender stack, or receiving application
