Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server Adapter Intel® 82580EB Based

Product Description

Silicom’s Quad Port SFP Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Server adapter is PCI-Express X4 SFP Gigabit Ethernet network interface

card that contain Multiple Gigabit 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

performance is optimized so that system I/O is not the bottleneck in high-performance networking applications.

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 server adapter is based on Intel 82580 Quad port Gigabit Ethernet MAC+PHY of Intel

Controller.
