Virtualization

To virtualize I/O intensive applications will require enhancements in the Hypervisor and hardwareNetQueue enabled ESX 4.0 was a start but more is needed

Chelsio’s adapters deliver high throughput to support I/O-intensive applicationsEight bi-directional data queues provide high throughput

Chelsio adapters are certified by:1. VMware ESX 4.02. VMware NetQueue enabled ESX 4.03. Citrix Xen Server 5.54. Microsoft Hyper-V5. Oracle VM

10GbE Medium of Choice

10 GbE Adapters Provide Compelling Cost SavingsOffer significant discount on a dollar-per-gigabit-of bandwidth over GbE adaptersBandwidth attractive to Cloud Computing and HPC Clustering applications and in Virtualized Data Centers

10GbE Medium of Choice

10GbE Shipment Growth will be DramaticLAN-on-Motherboard (LOM) adoption will be heavily driven by Blade Servers and by Server Virtualization
