BCM95709A0907G Gigabit Server Adapter is a
new class of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) adapter able
to simultaneously perform accelerated
networking and storage networking on standard
Ethernet. The NetXtreme II is a family of
Converged Network Interface Controllers (C-
NICs) with superior design. These devices also
support teaming and failover to improve network
application performance and provide server
redundancy.

HBA functionality on the NetXtreme II
BCM95709A0907G Adapter supports
Accelerated iSCSI. This converges block storage
and network processing over standard TCP
infrastructure, eliminating the need for a
separate storage adapter and cabling while
providing Fibre Channel-comparable
performance and reliability at a fraction of the
cost. There is no need to maintain a separate
storage infrastructure or for additional training.

The NetXtreme II BCM95709A0907G Adapter
features TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) technology
for Windows, which reduces the server CPU
utilization and improves application
performance. TOE offloads the TCP protocol
processing from the server CPU onto the server
adapter. This preserves valuable CPU cycles for
applications processing and improves overall
server performance and network efficiency.
Receive Side Scaling (RSS) also enables packet
receive processing to scale with the number of
available processors.
