FUJITSU PY ETH MEZZ CARD 10GB 2 PORT

Intel® Dual port 10 Gbit/s Ethernet Mezzanine Card

PRIMERGY mezzanine cards are - besides the I/O controllers on board - the central connection instances directly connecting the server blades and their internal storage media as well as the up to four I/O fabrics. They connect directly to the high performance midplane that provides a bandwidth of 6.4 Tbit/s and guarantees lossless, highly efficient data transfer to and from each of the eight connection blades. A wide range of various I/O protocols is processed herewith, from 1 and 10 Gbit/s native or converged Ethernet via 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 40 and 56 Gbit/s Infiniband to 6 Gbit/s SAS with RAID functionality. Even Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) that provide multiple network connections and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI are part of the portfolio. Dual and - for 1 Gb Ethernet - quad port versions are available, fulfilling any requirement of today and tomorrow.

Most flexible and scalable Ethernet Mezzanine card for today’s demanding datacenter environment - accelerating PRIMERGY BX900 server blades’ LAN traffic and the herein running mission-critical applications. Just in virtualized environments with a growing number of VMs per physical server, this controller combines provision of unmatched features and reliable performance. With up to 4 physical 10 Gb ports (via two Mezzanine cards) in one dual socket server blade the overall performance boost is dramatic. Operating in emulation mode in conjunction with the Virtual Switch of a Virtual Machine Manager, the integrated VMDq technology offloads data sorting and copying from the Virtual Switch to the LAN controller; this is the optimal solution for a large number of VMs running standard applications with limited bandwidth and latency requirements. Larger, mission-critical applications on the other hand require dedicated I/O for maximum network performance; they optimally operate using the VMDc feature, allowing data to bypass the Virtual Switch for near native performance.
