Now your Sun systems can take full advantage of the latest generation Sun GigaSwift Ethernet technology with network interface cards designed for copper or fiber network applications. Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Adapters deliver high-performance connectivity to your Sun servers and workstations. Utilizing a single port, these adapters provide high bandwidth, server-to-server or server-to-switch connections, through copper or fiber, at Gigabit per second speed.By reducing CPU processing loads with packet parsing, hardware check sum generation and interrupt coalescing, server efficiency is increased, alleviating network congestion on the corporate computer backbone and enhancing compute performance. Because Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Adapters comply with IEEE 802.3 standards, existing infrastructure, applications, and expertise can be retained when upgrading portions of the network to GigaSwift Ethernet technology. This interoperability protects your investment while helping to enable a smooth migration and lower total cost of ownership. Developed by Sun, these adapters offer a high level of functionality and reliability.
