Chelsio's T540-LP-CR is a quad port low profile, 10 Gigabit Ethernet Unified Wire adapter with a PCI Express 3.0 host bus interface. The adapter is optimized for storage, cloud computing, HPC, virtualization and other datacenter applications.
This adapter, based on the fifth generation (T5) technology from Chelsio provides the highest performance available and dramatically lowers host-system CPU communications overhead with on-board hardware that offloads TCP/IP, iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP RDMA processing from its host system and frees up host CPU cycles for other applications. As a result, the system benefits from higher bandwidth, lower latency and reduced power consumption.
A large portion of offloads enabled by T540-LP-CR are based on standard TCP, IP, UDP protocols (such as iSCSI and iWARP), and thus can operate with a software peer, or be replaced with a software solution at lower performance, thus providing the requisite reliability for enterprise customers, and allowing incremental installs in the datacent
