PCI Adapter Replacements
Get Higher Performance and Lower TCO

Sun FastEthernetTM PCI Adapter Replacement

With the last order date for the Sun FastEthernetTM PCI Adapter recently closed, customers are encouraged to migrate to Sun's GigaSwift UTP adapters, which have higher performance and more features, and can fall back to 10/100 Mbps.

The Sun GigaSwift Ethernet UTP Adapter provides high bandwidth server-to-server or server-to-switch connections through copper media at gigabit speed -- an order of magnitude faster than Fast Ethernet. By reducing CPU processing loads, server efficiency is increased, alleviating network congestion on the corporate computer backbone and enhancing performance.

SunSwiftTM PCI Adapter Replacement

With the EOL of the SunSwiftTM PCI Adapter, the replacement option is the Sun Dual Fast Ethernet and Dual SCSI II ((X)2222A), which has four ports on a single, full-size PCI card -- two Fast Ethernet ports for LAN connectivity and two Ultra SCSI-2 ports for attaching to SCSI-2-compliant peripherals. This saves valuable slots and helps lower cost of ownership by simplifying service and support. This adapter supports SE and LVD for the longer cable support.
