Product Description
IBM 00AG573 Emulex 10GBE 2Port AdapterThe IBM 00AG573 is an Emulex 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) two-port adapter designed for use in IBM System x and BladeCenter servers. It is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) that provides two 10GbE ports for fast data transfer between servers and network devices.
The Emulex 10GBE adapter supports a range of features, including TCP/IP offload engine (TOE), which offloads processing tasks from the server's CPU to the adapter to improve network performance. It also supports virtualization technologies such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, allowing multiple virtual machines to share a single physical adapter.
The adapter uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, providing high-bandwidth connectivity to the server's motherboard. It also supports jumbo frames up to 9,000 bytes, which can help reduce network overhead and improve overall network performance.
The IBM 00AG573 Emulex 10GBE two-port adapter is a reliable and high-performance network interface card that is ideal for use in enterprise environments where high-speed network connectivity is critical. It is compatible with a range of IBM System x and BladeCenter servers, providing a flexible and scalable solution for network connectivity.
