Chelsio T6225-CR verkkosovitin - PCIe 3.0 x8 - 2 x 25 Gigabit Ethernet SFP28

The Chelsio T6225-CR is a high-performance network adapter designed for demanding data center and enterprise environments. Featuring dual 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports via SFP28 connectors, this PCI Express 3.0 x8 card delivers exceptional throughput and low latency for virtualized and converged infrastructures.

Advantages

Leveraging the Chelsio T6 (Terminator 6) ASIC, the T6225-CR provides hardware acceleration for TCP/IP, UDP, iSCSI, FCoE, and RoCEv2, offloading CPU overhead and maximizing application performance. Its support for SR-IOV, VXLAN, NVGRE, and GENEVE enables efficient network virtualization, while RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) ensures ultra-low latency for storage and HPC workloads.
