The Unified Wire Solution
With the T440-CR, Chelsio is enabling a unified wire for LAN, SAN and
cluster traffic. This unified wire was made possible by the high band-
width and low latency of 10GbE combined with storage and cluster pro-
tocols operating over TCP/IP (iSCSI, FCoE and iWARP respectively).
In parallel, operating systems and hypervisors have incorporated native
support for iSCSI and database applications are now supporting file-
based storage protocols such as NFS as an alternative to SANs.
