Chelsio Technical Overview
Chelsio Communications is the market and technology leader for 10
Gigabit Ethernet adapters. Chelsio's board-level products employ the
company's unique ICs that process compute-intensive communications
protocols at 10Gbps rates. Unburdened of this communications-processing
overhead, host servers and storage systems that use Chelsio adapters
dramatically increase both applications performance, and communications
bandwidth.
=E2=96=BA Chelsio products accelerate network performance in enterprise data
centers, high performance cluster computing (HPCC), enterprise-wide
data storage systems, and post-production shops for digital film and
video. Chelsio is a privately-held subsystems company in Sunnyvale,
California.
The technology we work are:
TCP Offload Engine (TOE)
10-Gbit/s iSCSI SAN
RDMA (InfiniBand)
=E2=96=BA Chelsio=E2=80=99s flagship board-level protocol engine is the wor=
ld=E2=80=99s
best performing 10GbE adapter.
=E2=96=BA It employs Chelsio=E2=80=99s unique Terminator ASIC that processes
TCP=E2=80=9DIP, iSCSI, and other upper-layer protocols =E2=80=93 unburdenin=
g the
host-system=E2=80=99s CPU of these tasks.
=E2=96=BA Unlike competitive solutions that tax the host-system CPU to
process these protocols, Chelsio=E2=80=99s TCP Offload Engine (TOE)
technology dramatically increase the host-system=E2=80=99s CPU performance,
as well as it=E2=80=99s network bandwidth.
