The ST10000SPEX PCI Express
10 Gbps Network Card lets you add a 10-Gigabit Ethernet
port to your server or high-powered workstation through a
PCI Express x4 (or higher) slot.
With rising demand on
network resources due to large file transfers, increase in
network users and multimedia content, more bandwidth is
often required at various levels of your infrastructure.
This 10 Gb NIC offers a cost-effective solution for your
file or application server or even a high-powered
workstation to transfer more data, faster.
Fully compliant with the
IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standard, the card offers added
bandwidth over standard Cat 6a cabling, to meet your
network needs without an overhaul of your infrastructure
wiring, or a costly upgrade to fiber. The 10 Gbps network
card also offers compatibility with VMWare� ESXi 5.0/5.1 and
Microsoft Hyper-V� virtualization software and iSCSI
support to combine LAN and SAN functions.
For peak operating
efficiency, the 10GBASE-T card features the Tehuti TN4010
chipset, compliant with 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet
and with significantly reduced power consumption versus
the popular Intel� X540-AT1 chipset. The reduced power
consumption also helps to minimize heat generated by the
card, to avoid increasing the operating temperature within
your server case.
