The SMC Tiger Card™ 10G (SMC10GPCIe-10BT) is a 10 gigabit Ethernet server adapter that runs on a high speed PCIe x8 host bus interface.
It is the industry’s first 10GBASE-T server adapter that combines the speed and performance of the latest technology with the simple integration of traditional Ethernet over copper.
The growth and expansion of networking environments that contain highly complex applications that create and transfer huge files, such as high performance computing (HPC), database clusters, and video on demand, will require higher bandwidth on the network. The extremely low latency and high throughput of the SMC Tiger Card™ 10G server adapter family makes it the best solution for these applications.
In today’s challenging data center environment, thermal management is a hot topic. With the industry’s lowest power consumption, the SMC10GPCIe-10BT delivers compelling performance, resulting in a flexible server adapter, system and ultimately data center design. The advanced architecture supports the demand for Virtualization and iSCSI, enabling servers to work at their most optimal levels. The SMC10GPCIe-10BT is a half-height card with brackets for half- or full- height, which offers flexibility for server installation.
10GBASE-T reduces the cost of deployment and maintenance by leveraging the advantages of UTP, used in thousands
of data centers world-wide. With SMC’s exceptional 10GBASE-T technology, enterprises can now cost effectively deploy 10G Ethernet and extract maximum value from their infrastructure. The SMC10GPCIe-10BT is the true cost effective solution of enterprise computing.
The SMC Tiger Card™ 10G Server Adapter family delivers the balance of performance, power and price. This balance is driving the widespread adoption of 10-gigabit Ethernet throughout data centers and enterprise networks world-wide.
Features
* Virtual NIC support- The core of SMC’s technology. Protected VNIC interfaces can be instantiated for each running guest’s operating system or application, giving it a direct pipeline to the Ethernet network. This architecture provides the most efficient way to maximize network and CPU efficiency.
* PCI Express 1.1 x8 Host Bus Interface- Provide maximum host bus bandwidth 32 Gbps (Bi-directional).
* Plug-and-play- Provides binary compatibility with all data center and HPC applications.
* RSS- Receive Side Scaling raises the utilization levels of multi-core servers dramatically by distributing I/O loads across all CPUs and cores.
* IP/UDP/TCP checksum offload- Calculation and validation for the checksums found in IP, TCP and UDP headers. This feature saves a significant amount of valuable CPU cycles.
* Transmit rate pacing (per queue)- Provides a mechanism for enforcing bandwidth quotas across all guest operating systems. Software re-programmable on-the-fly to allow for adjustments as congestion increases on the network.
* iSCSI support- iSCSI Header and Data Digest CRC provides greater levels of data integrity without consuming additional CPU cycles.
* Jumbo frame support (9K)- Smaller per packet overhead, increased network utilization.
* MSI- MSI support enables higher levels of performance on both legacy and up-to-date systems.
* Remote boot- Support for etherboot, PXE boot, iSCSI Boot and Linux® BIOS provides flexibility in cluster design and diskless servers. A small programmable on-board ROM contains the boot code which provides this functionality.
* IP flow filtering- Enables the hardware to steer packets based on IP, TCP and UDP header contents.
