Description
Product Overview about the IBM 00E2864
The 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter is a high-performance network interface card designed to provide reliable and fast connectivity for servers and workstations. This adapter is designed to be compatible with PCI Express 2.0 slots and can support up to four Ethernet ports, including two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports. In this article, we will provide an in-depth explanation of the features and benefits of the 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter.
PCI Express 2.0 Interface
The 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter is designed to be compatible with PCI Express 2.0 slots. PCI Express 2.0 is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that provides faster data transfer rates compared to its predecessor, PCI Express 1.0. The 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter is capable of supporting up to eight gigatransfers per second (GT/s) per lane, which translates to a maximum throughput of 64 GT/s for an eight-lane card.
4-Port Ethernet Adapter
The 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter is a quad-port adapter that provides four Ethernet ports for connectivity. This allows servers and workstations to connect to multiple networks or devices simultaneously, without the need for additional adapters or switches. The adapter supports both copper and fiber-based Ethernet connections, and includes two 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 1GbE RJ45 ports.
10 Gigabit Ethernet Support
The 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter includes two 10GbE SFP+ ports, which can provide fast and reliable connectivity for high-bandwidth applications. 10GbE is a networking technology that provides 10 times the bandwidth of traditional Gigabit Ethernet, allowing for faster data transfer rates and improved network performance. The 10GbE SFP+ ports on the 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter support both copper and fiber-based connections, providing flexibility for different networking environments.
1 Gigabit Ethernet Support
In addition to the 10GbE ports, the 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter also includes two 1GbE RJ45 ports. 1GbE is a networking technology that provides a data transfer rate of 1 gigabit per second, which is ten times faster than the traditional Fast Ethernet technology. The 1GbE ports on the adapter can provide reliable connectivity for everyday networking needs, such as accessing the internet or transferring files.
Virtualization Support
The 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter includes support for virtualization technologies, such as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. Virtualization allows multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server, which can help reduce hardware costs and improve server utilization. The adapter includes support for virtual LANs (VLANs), which can help improve network security by isolating network traffic between different virtual machines.
Energy Efficiency
The 00E2864 IBM PCIE2 X8 4-Port Ethernet Adapter includes support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards, which can help reduce power consumption and lower operating costs. EEE is a networking technology that automatically reduces power usage during periods of low network activity, such as when a computer is idle or when network traffic is low.
