The Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet Networking Cards which incorporate the Intel 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller, are designed to meet the throughput and latency requirements of bandwidth-hungry applications such as High Performance Computing, database clusters and video-on demand. In addition, these Sun 10 GbE cards offer advanced features for higher throughput, lower CPU utilization and virtualization. Ideal for slot-constrained environments, the Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet Cards provide a simplified alternative to multiple 1 GbE cards for Sun's portfolio of x64 servers and Blade Servers.

Key Features
