10 Gigabit Performance for Short-distance CX4 Copper
The Intel® PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter—part of the second-generation 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) adapters from Intel—represents the first 10GbE-over-copper connection from Intel. It provides enterprises with a highly affordable, low-latency 10GbE network connection for CX4 cable distances up to 15 meters, depending on wire gauge. This makes the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter an ideal solution for high-bandwidth network connections in high performance computing clusters and for short distances within wiring closets.
Built around the highly integrated Intel® 82597EX 10-Gigabit Ethernet Controller for 64-bit PCI-X connections running up to 133MHz, the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter is ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications. High-speed server connectivity—once reserved for costly, proprietary technologies such as high-performance computing clusters and grid-based computing—can now be achieved with the standardized connectivity of the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter. Wide testing for interoperability with switches from major original equipment manufacturers further helps to ensure that the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter will provide connectivity you can count on.
The Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter helps improve network productivity and eliminate costly proprietary networking topologies while enabling deployment of standards-compliant Ethernet connectivity based on the IEEE 802.3ak 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard for CX4 copper cable.
The Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter is an immediate, lower-cost solution for a wide range of data-center applications, including:
• High-performance computing clusters
• Consolidated LAN and iSCSI traffic
• Database link to backup storage and NAS
• Digital editing, scientific and commercial simulation, and collaboration
• Scaled-up consolidated servers
• Real-time video streaming on web servers
By using the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter on critical server and storage applications, you can:
• Increase performance and bandwidth
• Consolidate multiple GbE connections
• Improve video streaming
• Scale up by consolidating servers
• Converge your networks by combining LAN and storage traffic
• Enable low-cost HPC clusters with low-cost, high-bandwidth interconnects
