Adapter cards support PCI-Express-based servers
Interface Masters Technologies
Gigabit Ethernet server adapter cards
Interface Masters Technologies has announced additional members of its 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) server adapter card range designed to integrate with PCI-Express-based inline networking servers.
The Niagara 32711 and 32710 server adapters are low-power, dual-port 10GE NICs, with SFP pluggable modules for multi-mode and single-mode fibre media.
Niagara 32710 supports fail over and network bypass.
The Niagara 32711 and Niagara 32710 10GE NICs are based on the latest 10GE Intel 82599 Gigabit Ethernet controller, which provides PCI-e 2.0 (5GT/s) support, 100/1000/10Gbps auto-negotiation capabilities, low-power 6.2W operation and 128 transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) queues.
The 82599 also offers specialised features including enhanced virtualisation support, layer 2 and 3 security including IPSec and Linksec, Intel I/OAT acceleration v3.0, VLAN tagging, stripping and packet filtering, FCoE transmit, segmentation and offload, and SNMP and RMON statistic counters.
Intel's 82599 also has a variety of time manageability interfaces including RMII, SMBus, PXE and iSCSI Boot.
The Niagara 32710 low-profile, dual-port 10GE fibre server adapter card with bypass is designed for high-availability server applications that demand premium performance and maximum uptime.
The bypass feature, upon power failure or power loss, allows network traffic to continue by re-routing traffic from the transmit port directly to the receive port.
This creates a closed loop that bypasses the down appliance, ensuring that network uptime is maintained.
