Chelsio T62100-CR - Network adapter - PCIe 3.0 x16 - QSFP28 x 2

Robust, proven solution. Subjected to thousands of hours of compatibility testing, over a decade of stress testing by several OEM test suites and production deployment in servers, storage systems and cluster computing, Chelsios robust, stable protocol offload technology delivers proven performance in a wide range of environments. Sixth-generation protocol offload engine. T6 is Chelsios sixth-generation TCP offload (TOE) design, fifth-generation iSCSI design, and fourth-generation iWARP (RDMA) implementation. With support for the 8 Gbps PCIe Gen3 data rate, it provides 128 Gbps of raw bandwidth. Also provides support for PCIe SR-IOV virtualization with embedded virtual switch. High performance security offload. T62100-CR introduces ground breaking TLS/SSL performance with inline cryptographic functions leveraging Chelsios proprietary TCP/IP offload engine. Chelsios full offload TLS/SSL is uniquely capable of 100 Gb line rate performance. In addition, T6 can be used with inline mode for DTLS and in a traditional co-processor lookaside mode to accelerate IPsec, TLS/SSL with AES, SHA1 and SHA2 processing and SMB 3.X crypto. The unified wire solution. T62100-CR enables a unified wire for LAN, SAN and cluster applications, built upon a high bandwidth and low latency architecture along with a complete set of storage and cluster protocols operating over Ethernet (iSCSI, NVMe-oF, FCoE and iWARP). A unified wire means having the ability to utilize all offload or non-offload protocols at the same time, over the same link, using the exact same firmware, host software, and adapter. Thus, a given system using T62100-CR can be easily targeted at different vertical markets and a variety of useful functions enabled (i.e. dial the bandwidth to a given application and assign access control, while offloading only part of the traffic). The Ethernet-only networking thus reduces the infrastructure costs in network adapters, cables, switches, rack space, power, equipment spares, management tools, planning, networking staff and installation. Packet switching and routing. T62100-CR integrates a 264-port high performance L2-L3 packet switch with integrated access control and flow control support, which allows switching traffic from any of the ports or host queues or physical or virtual functions to each other. The switch can further provide multicast and replication functions in ingress or egress direction. Typical use is for very high performance OVS offload. Complete and flexible TCP offload. The T62100-CR transport engine executes programmable firmware and is configurable with hundreds of registers for protocol parameters, RFC compliance and offload control. It can offload protocol processing per connection, per-server, per-interface, while simultaneously providing complete stateless offload for non-offloaded connections (processed by operating systems stack running on host CPU). It also provides a flexible direct data placement capability for regular TCP sockets, with all the benefits of zero-copy and kernel bypass without rewriting the applications.
