10 GbE NIC Adapters — Neterion

Enabling High Performance Networks with 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Delivering High Performance Ethernet Solutions to the Data Center

As IT environments continue to grow, organizations transition from Fast (100 Mbs) to Gigabit Ethernet (1,000 Mbs) down to the desktop level. Newer and ever more data-hungry applications are devouring the bandwidth. Examples are IP video tele-conferencing, video streaming, multimedia content distribution, on-line training, cluster computing and data mining systems. With these applications becoming more widespread, IT managers recognize the need to migrate the heart of their structure to 10 Gigabit Ethernet today.

Furthermore, the ubiquity, reliability and scalability of the Ethernet protocol make the adoption of 10 GbE an evolution not a revolution. Neterion's solutions are standards-based, require no changes to the operating systems and provide Telco-class performance and reliability features. This alleviates networked server and storage bottlenecks. It also allows data center and IT managers to maintain their existing infrastructure, including their equipment, management software and personnel, thus reducing the total cost of ownership. Combined with best-of-breed 10 GbE technology from Force10 Networks E-Series resilient switch/routers, Neterion’s 10 GbE Adapters deliver superior performance in all compute environments.
