Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Adapter - $499
Combine Connections With One Card
Expansion is a scarce resource in most server chassis. Take network connectivity as an example. When a business customer needs a more responsive network link but isn’t quite ready to make the 10 Gb jump, you use link aggregation to combine the bandwidth of multiple Gigabit controllers, thus multiplying performance. The physical limitation here is having the space for extra Ethernet cards.
Intel’s PRO/1000 PT Quad Port adapter helps conserve valuable slots by integrating two dual-port Gigabit chips on a single PCI Express x4 board. There’s a lot of intelligence built into the card, complementing its massive scalability. For instance, the PRO/1000 PT improves performance on multi-processor platforms by balancing the load on its controllers across CPU cores. It also supports I/OAT technology, Intel’s answer to the traditional TCP Offload Engine, which reduces CPU utilization by offloading network traffic processing to the NIC.
Whether you’re building a virtualization box that needs higher port density or simply adding performance to an existing Gigabit network, the PRO/1000 PT Quad Port adapter gets maximum utilization from each of your server’s PCI Express slots and each of its multi-core processors.
