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. For more product details on the Sun GigaSwift

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.
