LeWiz's MAGIC2028-4P™ is an ultra high performance PCI-X quad-port network interface card (NIC) with a powerful on-board TCP/IP Offload Engine (LE2028™) chip. This multi-port board is designed for high performance high connectivity networked systems such as servers, storage and networked appliances. By off-loading TCP/IP processing to hardware, the MAGIC2028-4P™ takes the host processor(s) out of the TCP/IP loop, no longer performing the major TCP/IP tasks in software. This balanced approach allows the host processor(s) to utilize most of its bandwidth to run applications, resulting in reduced system bottlenecks and enhanced system performance. Furthermore, the MAGIC2028-4P™ accelerates the TCP/IP processing to wirerate, effectively reducing network latency and overhead in network attached systems. The MAGIC2028-4P™plugs directly into the systems PCI-X slot. It has the capability of handling a load of up to 2M concurrent connections and performs 44K connections per second complete set-up and tear-down.
TCP/IP is the protocol used to communicate server to server, server to PC, server to storage, server to network appliance, and the list of applications continues to expand. Unfortunately, TCP/IP places a very heavy burden on host CPUs. With the advent of Gigabit Ethernet and higher, server CPUs have begun to choke while processing the TCP/IP overhead associated with transferring data. This board offloads the TCP/IP processing from the host CPUs, freeing up valuable CPU cycles for application processing while maintaining the programmability, configurability, and flexibility via the host interface. Designed for maximum wirerate throughput across the ports. It also supports fail-over protection/alternate pathing and load balancing/trunking/ bonding capabilities required in high-performance server and storage systems. The result is faster servers, an accelerated network, and superior application performance, saving cost and improving reliability for the enterprise network. The MAGIC2028-4P™ is ideal for network intensive environments such as file serving, network attached storage (NAS), high performance technical computing, high-end backup and restore, IP storage, and video serving.
Using LeWiz's advanced layer-processing architecture, the MAGIC2028-4P™ with the LE2028™ chip offers the highest performance, lowest power and most cost effective way of addressing the performance bottlenecks found in many IP network attached equipment.
