Neterion Products • X3100: 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapters • Xframe® E: 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-express server & storage adapter - the industry's first 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed for the new generation PCI-express bus • Neterion Xframe® II Sun Fire: Low Profile 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X Adapter optimized for Sun Fire Systems • Xframe® II: 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X 2.0 server & storage adapter - the industry's fastest Ethernet adapter, taking advantage of the new Double Data Rate bus (DDR), to deliver the full line rate potential of 10 gigabit per second • Neterion Xframe®: 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X 1.0 server & storage adapter • Operating Systems Support Company Founded in 2001, Neterion®, Inc. is the market leader in 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters that provide high speed solutions for customers’ server and storage networks. With its unique Hyperframe™ architecture, Neterion’s Xframe® V-NIC™ adapters feature independent physical paths, built into the hardware to offer optimal performance and security in virtualized environments. This enables IT managers to implement end-to-end virtualization down to the I/O that address key cost and performance issues that relate to the connectivity of high-end enterprise servers, server clusters and emerging storage area networks. Silicon Valley-based Neterion is an active member in iWARP, the RDMA Consortium, PCI Special Interest Group I/O Virtualization Working Group, and the Internet Engineering Task Force. Technology Benefits The benefits of Ethernet are well known: proven industrystandard for over 30 years, ease of integration, widespread adoption, always-improving performance and scalability, low TCO. These make it the ideal transport medium for all-size networks, corporate backbones storage networking and server datacenters. The logical next step in this evolution is 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE). Neterion develops a family of CPU-assist and fulloffload adapters that server and storage OEMs can easily integrate into their product lines. The benefits of 10 GbE to data center managers include: • Evolutionary – non-revolutionary – path to higher network performance • Up to 10 times the bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet • Reduced power consumption and heat dissipation • Reduced cabling and management complexity • Reduced TCO with “Ethernet Everywhere” • Faster, simpler and more cost-effective than Gigabit Ethernet aggregation • Enabling of high-performance iSCSI storage – a truly global SAN solution Products With well-established relationships with all major server and storage OEM vendors, Neterion’s roadmap is based on specific customer feedback and all products developed for the concrete of the OEMs. Neterion’s industry-leading Xframe® 10 GbE V-NIC adapter family offers: • Unique, hardware-independent multi-queue architecture   to take full advantage of server blade and virtualization deployments • Plug-and-play installation to take advantage of new levels   of performance within minutes • Standard TCP/IP implementation   (without “breaking the I/O stack”) • PCI-X 1.0, 2.0 DDR and PCI-Express bus support for up   to 10 times the bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet • Comprehensive offloads & performance features • Telco-class Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS) • Future-proof IPv6 Support • Support of all major operating systems: Linux (in the   kernel), MS Windows, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX,   VMware, Mac OS, etc. • Support of major virtualization operating systems    including VMware, Microsoft “Viridian” and Linux “Xen” • Low profile adapters & Mezzanine form factor for blade servers Neterion released its first CPU-assist product in October 2003. The company is actively developing follow-on features that will add iWARP (RDMA over IP) and other offload capabilities, resulting in an order of magnitude reduction in latencies, up to 90% lower CPU utilization, all in total industrystandard compliance, facilitating implementation by OEMs and integrators. Customer Wins To date Neterion has announced OEM agreements and codevelopment partnerships with the following companies: • IBM (OEM) • Hewlett-Packard (OEM) • EMC (OEM) • Hitachi (OEM) • Fujitsu (OEM) • Sun (co-development and Factory-install) • Silicon Graphics (OEM) • Cray (OEM) For additional information, options and pricing about our ThinkCP™ products, please contact our sales representatives - (800)726-2477 or email - SalesDesk AT ThinkCP.com Copyright © 1997 - 2009 H.
