Niagara 42264-E

Overview

• Niagara 42264-E Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter is built on Intel's 82580 Gigabit technology, Cavium's Nitrox IPsec and SSL acceleration technology & Interface Masters' sterling design and customer service.
• Niagara 42264-E is designed with a built-in programmable bypass circuit to provide maximum uptime for the network. The bypass circuit takes the Niagara 42264-E ports offline in case of either power or software failure. The bypass circuit works in absence of power.
• Niagara 42264-E supports several members of the Cavium Nitrox family including CN1605, CN1610 & CN1620.
• Niagara 42264-E Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC is designed to integrate with PCI Express compatible servers and high-end appliances providing high speed networking and bypass/failover capabilities for any mission-critical application.
