NetEffect™ Ethernet Server Cluster Adapter DA, retail unit

NetEffect® Ethernet Server Cluster Adapter DA
Twin-ax copper cables with SFP+ connectors

OVERVIEW
Intel®’s NetEffect Server Cluster Adapters provide accelerated 10 Gigabit Ethernet processing to benefit some of the most demanding
and latency-sensitive applications, including high performance computing (HPC) clustering and financial market data systems.
The product line is optimized for scalability to take advantage of the multi-core environments typically used with these high performance computing applications.

Powered by the second-generation of accelerated 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology,
the NetEffect NE020 network controller provides the protocol processing required to deliver the lowlatency, scalable performance that is required.
