Chelsio 10GbE Adapters for IBM System Cluster 1350 and IBM iDataPlex

IBM System x at-a-glance guide

Chelsio single-port and dual-port adapters for IBM System Cluster 1350 and IBM iDataPlex are 10 Gigabit

Ethernet adapters with PCI Express host bus interface optimized for virtualization, high performance computing, and storage applications. The third generation technology from Chelsio provides the highest

10GbE performance that is available and dramatically lowers host system CPU communications overhead.

With on-board hardware that off-loads TCP/IP, iSCSI, and iWARP RDMA processing from its host system, these adapters free up host CPU cycles for business applications and result in increased bandwidth, lower latency, and lower power. This combination makes it practical to converge other networks that traditionally used niche technologies onto 10GbE. High bandwidth and extremely low latency make 10GbE with protocol offload the best technology for high-performance cluster computing

(HPCC) fabrics.

Did you know

These Chelsio adapters enable the concept of unified wire, the convergence of server networking, storage networking, and cluster computing interconnects onto a single platform and a single fabric.

These Chelsio adapters are part of the IBM System Cluster 1350 solution. The Cluster 1350 is your key to a fully integrated HPC solution. IBM clustering solutions include servers, storage, and industry-leading interconnects that are factory-integrated, fully tested, and delivered to your door, ready to plug into your data center, all with a single point of contact for support.
