Features

Chelsio is enabling a unified wire for LAN, 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 
incorporated native support for iSCSI, and database applications now support file-based storage 
protocols such as NFS as an alternative to SANs. Expanding its unified wire approach, Chelsio has added 
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) hardware support to the new T4-based adapters. FCoE provides a 
transition path from legacy SANs to converged networks.
