Overview
C
helsio’s T420-LL-CR is a dual port, low latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Unified Wire adapter with PCI Express 2.0 host bus interface, optimized
for financial and HPC applications. It is also a best in class 10GbE inter-
connect solution for cloud computing, virtualization, storage, and other
data center applications.

The Unified Wire Solution
With the T420-LL-CR, Chelsio is enabling a unified wire for LAN, NAS,
SAN and cluster traffic. This unified wire was made possible by the high
bandwidth and low latency of 10GbE combined with storage and cluster
protocols operating over TCP/IP (iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP respectively).
In parallel, operating systems and hypervisors have incorpo-
rated native support for
iSCSI and database applications are now supporting file- based stor-
age protocols such as NFS as an alternative to SANs.
