Chelsio’s aim is to allow users to converge their data center. The key benefits of a unified data center are:
- Lower TCO
- Reduced management
- Ease of use
- Chelsio’s guaranteed high performance
- Unlimited Storage Capacity
- Single license to enable all storage protocols
Unified Storage Server is a powerful turnkey solution for creating high-performance storage systems. It is middleware that provides an easy integration path for VARs and OEMs, and offers superior performance and ease of use for end users.
Unified Manager: Central Management of Chelsio’s NIC, TOE, iSCSI and Boot Solutions.
iSCSI Initiator & Target 4.3 Software
iSCSI Software: 10GbE/1GbE Enterprise-ready high-performance low-latency iSCSI Initiator and Target Solution.
The Chelsio iSCSI solutions are designed for data intensive applications that require high throughput, such as video streaming, image processing and back-up. Specific applications include SAN edge devices such as storage arrays, storage-aware devices in the SAN cloud such as virtualization engines, and IP-based data centers built with blade servers.
Chelsio WireDirect™
WireDirect™ technology consists of three main software modules that enable direct wire access from user space to the Chelsio Terminator Series ( Terminator 4 (T4) and Terminator 5 (T5) ) network cards/adapters with complete bypass of the kernel. WireDirect results in a 40Gb Ethernet (40GbE) solution with an ultra-low deterministic latency of 1.6µS with Terminator 5 (T5) and 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) solution with an low 3µS deterministic latency with Terminator 4 (T4), which are perfectly suited for high frequency trading and other delay-sensitive applications. The three Chelsio WireDirect (WD) modules are: WD-QP (Queue Pair), WireDirect UDP (WD-UDP) with Multicast, and WireDirect Trace (WD-TRACE).
