Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server Adapter

Product Description

Silicom’s Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter is PCI-Express X8 Copper Gigabit Ethernet network

interface card that contain Multiple / Single Gigabit port/s on a PCI-Express adapter.

Silicom’s Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule 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 Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter enable fault-tolerant via teaming. Traffic from the failed

port is routed through other members of the team.

Silicom’s Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule 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 Six Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet ExpressModule Server adapter is the ideal solution for implementing multiple network

segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers.
