Adaptec 1975100 iSCSI Card fiber copper 7211C
The Adaptec iSCSI Card 7211C delivers the fastest, most interoperable connection into iSCSI SANs. This copper adapter features ASIC-based complete TCP/IP Offload for highest performance and low CPU utilization. MODEL: 1975100 VENDOR: ADAPTEC INC
FEATURES: iSCSI ASA-7211C (Copper) Kit- Single
1 Gb ASIC-based iSCSI copper adapter with full protocol offload.
The Adaptec 7211C (copper) delivers high performance, interoperable
connection into iSCSI SANs in Gigabit Ethernet environments. Unlike
NIC based implementations the Adaptec 7211C (copper) offers ASIC-
based complete TCP/IP and iSCSI offload enabling lower CPU
utilization and the best price-performance. The Adaptec 7211C
(copper) provides best-in-class interoperability and is ideal for
applications like storage consolidation, LAN-free and server-free
back-up, database and e-mail deployment, as well as remote
replication and disaster recovery.
Includes iSCSI card 7211C, installation guide and installation CD.
What is iSCSI?
iSCSI, or internet SCSI, is an IETF standard which maps SCSI blocks into
Ethernet packets. Fundamentally, the iSCSI protocol is a method for
transporting low latency SCSI blocks across IP networks.
Delivers outstanding iSCSI performance using familiar, affordable
technology.
Ideal for environments where storage consolidation, LAN-free backup, and
remote replication are required. Database, e-mail, and disaster recovery
and perfectly suited for iSCSI SANs with iSCSI HBAs.
Fully offloads protocol processing from the host CPU.
High-speed iSCSI SAN connectivity with minimal CPU utilization.
Enables any enterprise that uses standard Ethernet technology to
consolidate storage, increase data availability, and reap the benefits
of SANs.
Enables low latency SCSI "blocks" to be transported via Ethernet and
TCP/IP.
