Solarflare SFN5161T Dual-Port 10GbE Midrange Server Adapter
Combines excellent performance and exceptional 10GbE value for data center, enterprise, SMB, high performance computing, and cloud computing environments over installed and new UTP cabling.
[SFN5161T]With triple-speed 10GBASE-T, the SFN5161T supports asymmetric upgrades. Because 10GBASE-T auto-negotiates with 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, servers can be upgraded asynchronously with switches at the other end of the wire. Equipped to handle application loads of the latest multi-core processors, the SFN5161T also delivers unmatched power efficiency for the consolidation and deployment of high-density servers. The SFN5161T supports data networking with concurrent support of iSCSI and NAS traffic – while providing cost effective, power-efficient and high-performance network I/O.
Details
Application Performance Leadership
The SFN5161T boasts the industry’s lowest latency along with full 40 Gbps bi-directional line-rate performance. Featuring a rich set of stateless offloads, it provides efficient acceleration of the most demanding network protocol tasks.
Proven Powerful Technology
Based on standards-compliant, robust, power-efficient 10GbE controller and 10GBASE-T PHY technology currently shipping in OEM servers and switches, the SFN5161T enables high-performance, cost-effective solutions for next-generation applications.
Scalable, Hardware-Assisted Virtualization
The SFN5161T is designed to optimize virtualized application performance and maximize the use of network resources. With 10x the number of vNICs and virtual PCIe functions than the competition, I/O performance scales as the number of CPU cores and virtual machines increase resulting in enhanced application performance supporting more applications per physical server.
The SFN5161T accelerates guest applications in leading hypervisors, supporting NetQueue and VMQ in VMware and Hyper-V, and SR-IOV in KVM and XenServer. SFN5161T relieves network I/O bottlenecks hidden in virtualized environments, allowing IT managers to allocate full network resources directly to virtualized applications. SFN5161T enables the highest performance and lowest CPU utilization in virtualized servers.
Lowest Power
At less than 13 Watts, the SFN5161T consumes less than half the power of the leading competitors’ products, and delivers 5-10x the efficiency of 1G Ethernet (Gbps/Watt). This not only makes a power efficient 10G network possible, it can save thousands of dollars of operating costs for a typical data center. The SFN5161T is the only dual-port 10GBASE-T server adapter that is compatible with the Energy Star® guideline for power consumption.
