Chelsio T520-CR – network adapter

Chelsio’s T520-CR is a dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Unified Wire adapter with PCI Express 3 host bus interface, optimized for cloud computing, HPC, virtualization, storage, and other data center applications.

The fifth-generation (T5) technology from Chelsio provides the highest 10GbE performance available and dramatically lowers host-system CPU communications overhead with on-board hardware that off-loads TCP/IP, iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP RDMA processing from its host system. T520-CR frees up host CPU cycles for useful applications. The system achieves increased bandwidth, lower latency, and uses less power.
