Dell 22MCC Silicom 2 x Ports 10Gb/s PCIe x8 Bypass Server Adapter

Product Description

The Dell 22MCC, a Silicom-manufactured network adapter, is a specialized dual-port 10Gb/s Ethernet solution featuring a critical bypass functionality. This adapter is designed for server environments where network uptime and data flow continuity are paramount, particularly in applications like Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), and network monitoring tools. The bypass feature ensures that network traffic can continue to flow through the adapter even if the host server experiences a failure or is taken offline, preventing network outages and maintaining service availability. With its two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a PCI Express x8 interface, the 22MCC provides high-speed connectivity essential for modern network infrastructure. The adapter is optimized for low latency and high throughput, making it suitable for real-time network analysis and security applications. The bypass mechanism is typically implemented using hardware relays that automatically reroute traffic when power is lost or the adapter detects a system issue, guaranteeing uninterrupted network connectivity. This adapter is an integral component for building highly available network security and monitoring solutions. Its combination of high-speed networking and robust bypass technology ensures that critical network functions remain operational under all circumstances. The Dell branding signifies its compatibility and integration within Dell server ecosystems, offering a reliable solution for demanding network availability requirements.
