5709 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.

Host Bus Adapter (HBA) functionality on the
NetXtreme II 5709 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 and no need for
additional training.

The NetXtreme II 5709 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.
