The Intel Express Gigabit Switch, which was jointly developed with Lucent Technologies (via its acquisition earlier this year of startup Prominet Corporation), incorporates Lucent's Cajun Switch Architecture* to deliver increased capacity, consolidation of network traffic and enhanced network availability. The Intel Express Gigabit Switch also includes support for a redundant power supply and Web-based management tools helping to enable network administrators to easily ensure network "up-time," maximize productivity and ultimately, increase profitability.
The PRO/1000 Gigabit Server adapter is based on Intel's 82542 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the most highly integrated Gigabit controller on the market today, combining the media access controller (MAC), on-board RAM and a high-performance 64-bit PCI interface into a single device. In addition, Intel has teamed with Compaq Computer, the industry leading server manufacturer, to deliver the highest possible performance, system compatibility and server up-time with features like PCI Hot Plug** and Intel's Adapter Fault Tolerance. Both the Intel Express Gigabit Switch and PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter support IEEE 802.1p and 802.1Q standards. These standards help consolidate, control and maximize network traffic. When combined with features such as fault tolerance, link aggregation and redundant power supplies, Intel's Gigabit solution helps to ensure network connectivity to "mission critical" applications. The Intel Gigabit product family provides a more comprehensive solution that helps enable network administrators to deliver cost-effective, balanced computing performance across their entire networks.
