| NetXen Provides First 10-Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter Technology for HP BladeSystem c-Class Servers NetXen announces that its NetXen Intelligent NIC solution will be used in the HP NC512m Dual Port 10GbE Multifunction BL-c Server Adapter. The HP NC512m network adapter includes NetXen's Linux Sockets Acceleration for the HP BladeSystem c-Class family of high-performance blade servers. NetXen's Intelligent NIC controller is now offered in 10GbE adapters across the entire portfolio of HP BladeSystem servers, providing a consistent user experience and feature set for 10GbE connectivity. The HP NC512m multifunction server adapter offers the highest bandwidth available in an HP BladeSystem Ethernet adapter and supports stateful Linux TCP offloading based on NetXen's LSA technology. Support for accelerated iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) are planned for future firmware releases. The NC512m is compatible with the new corresponding HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch, providing a complete solution for 10-Gigabit connectivity all the way from the server to the core network. The NetXen NX2031 Intelligent NIC is a highly integrated, dual-port network controller that features two 10GbE ports and a native x8 PCI Express interface. It improves the efficiency of 10GbE-based servers by enabling them to offload a variety of protocols including TCP/IP, RDMA, iSCSI and security. The Intelligent NIC is fully programmable, providing the NC512m the capability to add these features via future firmware upgrades. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
