Enhance Your Network Performance with Silicom’s 100G Intel® E810 Based Server Adapter
Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 100 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Bypass Server Adapter Intel® E810 based is designed for Servers and high-end appliances. The Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 Bypass Server Adapter 100G Intel® E810 based offer simple integration into any PCI Express X16 to 100 Gigabit Networks.
The performance is optimized so that system I/O is not the bottleneck in high-performance networking applications. The Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 Bypass server adapter is targeted to inline network system that maintains network connectivity when system fails.
Flexible Modes of Operation: Normal, Bypass, and Disconnect on Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 Adapter
The Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 Bypass Server Adapter 100 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-e is based on Intel E810-CAM2 Ethernet controller with fully integrated two 100G Ethernet Ports, enhanced programmable packet processing pipeline, virtualization (Enhanced SR-IOV support with up to 256 VFs, backward compatibility VF driver support), new features for the communications market (fine grained scheduler, transmit head drop support, adjustment of credits according to different headers, enhanced QoS, enhanced burst control) and RDMA (iWARP and RoCEv2).
Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 Bypass Server Adapter 100 Gigabit Ethernet supports Normal, Bypass and Disconnect modes. In Normal mode, the ports are independent interfaces. In Bypass mode, all packets received from one port are transmitted to the adjacent port. In Disconnect mode, the adapter simulates switch / rout cable disconnection.
Silicom’s 100 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express Bypass NICs: The Ideal Solution for High-Performance Servers
Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 Bypass Server Adapter can Bypass or disconnect its Ethernet ports on a host system failure, power off, or upon software request.
In Bypass mode, the connections of the Ethernet ports are disconnected from the system and switched over to the other port to create a crossed connection loop-back between the Ethernet ports. Hence, in bypass mode all packets received from one port are transmitted to the adjacent port and vice versa. This feature enables to bypass a failed system and provides maximum up time for the network.
Silicom’s P4CG2BPi81 Bypass Server Adapter Intel® E810 based includes an on board WDT (Watch Dog Timer) controller. The adapter’s software drivers or software application can write commands to the on board WDT controller. The adapter’s software drivers, WDT controller and the Bypass circuitry provide an interface that control and manage the mode of the adapter.
Silicom’s 100 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express Bypass NICs are the ideal solution for implementing multiple network segments, mission-critical high-powered networking applications and environments within high performance servers.
Optimized to work with Intel Xeon Scalable processor.
