Networking

Mountains of written and printed information have given way to servers and data storage that store and manage information electronically. Workers thousands of miles away now share information instantaneously, as easily as workers in a single location can. Ethernet networking technologies are the glue that binds these elements together.

Attaining optimum network performance requires a balanced system design where the I/O performance scales with the faster server processors and system bus frequencies. The System p family offers a complete lineup of single and multiported 1 GbsE as well as single-ported 10 GbsE Adapters.
