Chelsio CC2-N320E-SR 10GbE 2P PCIe x8 LP Server Adapter

Product Description

The Chelsio CC2-N320E-SR is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network adapter designed to meet the demanding bandwidth requirements of modern servers and data centers. Featuring two 10GbE ports, this adapter significantly increases network throughput, making it ideal for applications such as high-speed storage access, virtualization, and large data transfers. The use of SFP+ connectors allows for flexible deployment with various fiber optic transceivers. This adapter connects to the server via a PCIe x8 interface, providing sufficient bandwidth to support the full speed of both 10GbE ports simultaneously. The inclusion of advanced offload engines, such as TCP/UDP/IP checksum and segmentation offload, reduces the burden on the server's CPU, freeing up processing resources for applications. Furthermore, the support for RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) via RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) enables low-latency, high-throughput data transfers directly between the memory of different servers, which is critical for high-performance computing and storage applications. The Low Profile (LP) form factor ensures compatibility with a wider range of server chassis, including smaller rack-mount systems that may not accommodate full-height cards. The CC2-N320E-SR is engineered for reliability and performance, offering robust connectivity for mission-critical applications that require high bandwidth and low latency network access. It supports various network protocols and management features essential for enterprise network environments.
