FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AEI Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter targets the increased congestion
experienced at the backbone and server in today’s networks, and provides a
future upgrade path for high-end workstations that require more bandwidth than
Fast Ethernet can provide.
The AEI Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter connects a PCI or PCI-X (or
CompactPCI, depending on version) compliant server or workstation to a Gigabit
Ethernet network. This adapter incorporates a technology that transfers data at a
maximum rate of one gigabit per second—10 times the rate of Fast Ethernet
adapters.
The AEI Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter is a 32/64-bit, 33/66/100/133Mhz PCI-X
(or CompactPCI) network interface cards that contains multiple independent
Gigabit ports on one adapter. The AEI Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters
conserve valuable I/O slots in Servers.
AEI Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters are the perfect solution for a cost effective,
instant performance boost over existing Category 5 UTP copper cabling for
getting high-powered networking.
