10GbE Adapters for IBM Power Systems and Flex System
Emulex provides 10GbE network adapters with PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 support for IBM Power servers to enable full bidirectional 20Gbps bandwidth over two ports. The PCIe 2.0 standard doubles the throughput of the PCIe 1.0 standard and uses a base clock speed of 5.0 GHz, twice the PCIe 1.0 standard. With the capacity of 4Gbps throughput for each of 8 lanes, Emulex adapters are the high-performance solution for IBM Power servers.
