Multi-port 25 and 40 GbE Adapters

The St. Helens and Rainier multi-port 25 and 40 gigabit Ethernet adapters enable today's most powerful servers to deliver the highest network performance possible. By implementing a PCIe Gen3 x16 lane interface to the host CPU, the St. Helens and Rainier adapters are capable of an aggregate of up to 100 Gbps half-duplex, thereby reducing or eliminating the network I/O bottleneck.

Ideally suited for space and slot constrained network appliances and virtualized servers, the high throughput capability of the St. Helens and Rainier adapters exceed the bandwidth of all other x8 lane based dual-port 40GbE adapters by 45 to 100%.
