Chelsio: T6 25GbE and 100GbE Converged Network Adapter Solutions

Chelsio Communications, Inc. announced the availability of T6 25 and 100 GbE converged network adapter (CNA) solutions which boost the utilization of the multi-core processors and achieve Ethernet storage and server connectivity.

The T6225-SO dual-port 25GbE and T62100-SO dual-port 100GbE CNAs promote next-generation datacenters enabling high-bandwidth Ethernet fabrics optimized for efficiency while reducing costs, power, and complexity.

Today’s datacenters require 25Gb/s or greater server networking solutions to support the increasing networking demands of virtualized environments, to achieve high database transactions per second, and to enable true storage and server I/O consolidation. The T6225-SO and T62100-SO CNAs provide IT managers with the networking solutions required to build an efficient and long-lasting datacenters that deliver the best user experience.

“The requirements on networks for high bandwidth, low latency and efficiency are growing swiftly, as are the pressures to simplify IT and reduce costs,” said Kianoosh Naghshineh, CEO, Chelsio. “With a robust feature set and advanced performance offload capability, the 25 and 100 GbE CNA adapters empower customers with cloud, telco, and transaction-intensive enterprise networking environments to dynamically transform their software-defined IT infrastructures.“

“In keeping with its technology deployment track record, Chelsio is pushing the Ethernet server I/O networking limit forward with the release of its 25 and 100 GbE CNA solutions,” said Greg Schulz, senior analyst, server, StorageIO and author of Software-Defined Data Infrastructure Essentials. “IT managers today can utilize Chelsio CNA offerings and when ready, migrate to 200GbE for their next generation, future proofed data centers. The new Chelsio CNA adapter cards support continuing demand by cloud and data center to meet server I/O networking performance as well as efficiency needs.“
