Ceacent’s family of adapters, the Ceacent®Ethernet Converged Network Adapter CC8599-DF1 and CC8599-DF2 with SFP+ connectivity, are the most flexible and scalable Ethernet adapters for today’s demanding data center environments. Data center networks are being pushed to their limits. The escalating deployments of servers with multi-core processors and demanding
applications such as High Performance Computing (HPC),database clusters, and video-on-demand are driving the need for 10 Gbps connections.Customers require flexible and scalable I/O solutions to meet the rigorous requirements of running mission-critical applications in virtualized and unified storage environments. Powered by Intel’s third-generation 10 GbE network controller, the Intel® Ethernet 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the 500 adapter family addresses the demanding needs of the next-generation data center by providing unmatched features for virtualization, flexibility for LAN and SAN networking, and proven, reliable performance.
The family of 500 adapters includes a number of advanced features that enable it to provide industry-leading performance and reliability.
• Security Optimizations The adapters support IPsec offload for Microsoft’s* Network Access Protection (NAP), Active Directory,* and future security capabilities in Windows 7*. CC8599-SF1 and CC8599-SF2 adapter enables customers to run a secure network environment without sacrificing performance.
• PCIe v2.0 (5 GT/s) PCIe v2.0 (5 GT/s) support enables customers to take full advantage of 10 GbE by providing a maximum of 20 Gbps bi-directional throughput per port on a single dual port card.
• Designed For Multi-core Processors Support for technologies such as multiple queues, receive-side scaling, multiple MSI-X vectors, and Low Latency Interrupts enable the CC8599-SF1 and CC8599-SF2 adapters to provide high-performance, 10 Gigabit connectivity in multi-core server blades. These technologies distribute network processing across multiple CPU cores, improving overall performance. For today ’s demanding virtualized data center environments, the new family of 500 adapters deliver ultimate flexibility and scalability
