LeWiz's TALON3008™ is a PCI-Express (PCIe) network interface card (NIC) with 4 ports of 1Gbps Ethernet but in a PCIe low profile form factor. It’s designed to target the small space, heat sensitive servers, storage and security systems markets. This quad port board is suitable for high performance high connectivity networked systems such as blade servers, storage and networked appliances. The TALON3008™plugs directly into the systems x1, x4, x8, or x16 PCIe slot. With all 4 ports active in bi-directional mode, LeWiz’s Talon3008™ PCIe board can transmit and receive up to 8Gbps or 4Gbps in each direction. The board has TCP/IP assist functions to reduce the work load for the system CPUs. Both low profile and standard height PCI-Express brackets are available. The 4 independent ports allow users to implement fail-over fault-tolerant capability using quad redundancy or dual redundancy that can be switched over 2 different networks ensuring the system can always be up and running even during an outage of the primary network. For higher performance, the 4 GigE ports can also be bonded together to form a single pipe achieving the performance of most 10Gbps HBA cards in the market but at a fraction of the cost – yet still allowing the users to use the proven, low cost GigE network equipments. The board is a plug-n-play for many systems. It readily supports Windows2000/2003 Server, Solaris10/Express, Linux2.4/2.6, and Redhat or SuSE Enterprise operating systems. It has been tested on both AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon platforms both in 32 and 64 bit configurations. Storage application such as iSCSI stack, and Web server Apache applications are readily available. Existing applications would run on this board without modification or recompilation. Designed for maximum wirerate throughput across the ports. The TALON3008™ 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. |
