Chelsio Delivers T6 Unified Wire Line Of Protocol Offload Adapters Based On Open Compute Project (OCP) Designs
1/10/25/40/50/100Gbps Adapters Built to OCP Specifications Offer Line Rate, High IOPS Performance for iSCSI, SMB Direct, NVMe over Fabrics, and Encryption - Lowest Power 100GbE Adapter in Industry
SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Chelsio Communications, Inc., a leading provider of high performance (1Gb/10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb) Ethernet Unified Wire Adapters and ASICs for storage networking, virtualized enterprise datacenters, cloud service installations, and cluster computing environments, today announced the availability of the new Terminator 6 (T6) 1/10/25/40/50/100Gb Ethernet (GbE) network adapters based on the sixth generation of its hyper‐virtualized Unified Wire ASIC architecture based on the Open Compute Project (OCP).
The new T6 OCP-optimized adapters are designed for storage, cloud computing, HPC, virtualization and other datacenter applications in a Network and Storage environment based on OCP.
- T6225-OCP – memory free dual-port 1/10/25 Gigabit Ethernet Server Offload adapter, with PCI Express 3.0 x8 host bus interface
- T61100-OCP – memory free single-port 1/10/25/40/50/100 Gigabit Ethernet Server Offload adapter, with PCI Express 3.0 x16 host bus interface
The T6 powered adapters are the industry's highest performance Ethernet interfaces, scaling to deliver 100Gbps wire speed bandwidth, ultra-low latency and high message processing capacity. The new adapters are also the lowest power 100GbE solution in the industry, requiring a passive heat sink and a maximum of 200 Linear Feet per Minute (LFM) airflow while delivering 100Gbps speeds, enabled by the exceptionally low power 32nm SOI process from Global Foundries. With a comprehensive suite of offloaded storage, compute and networking protocols – including iWARP (RDMA/TCP), TCP/IP, UDP/IP, NVMe over Fabrics, iSCSI Offload and FCoE with T10‐DIX, IPsec, SSL, DTLS; Terminator 6 (T6) enables network convergence and provides unprecedented performance in virtualized environments, while dramatically increasing host system efficiency and lowering communication overhead.
"Chelsio is committed to Open Ethernet and to enabling the freedom of choice of hardware and software for best datacenter return on investment," said Kianoosh Naghshineh, CEO at Chelsio Communications. "We're very gratified to help enable the OCP ecosystem with our industry-leading T6 Unified Wire adapter solutions."
