1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing Chelsio T4 Unified Wire adapters. These high speed, single chip,

single firmware cards provide enterprises and data centers with high performance solutions for

various Network and Storage related requirements.

The T4 adapters can fully offload TCP, UDP, iSCSI, iWARP and FCoE over a single Unified

Wire. The adapters also fully support SR-IOV, EVB/VNTag, DCB, Traffic Management and

Filtering.

Ideal for all data, storage and high performance clustering applications, the T4 Adapters

enable a unified fabric over a single wire by simultaneously running all unmodified IP sockets,

Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications over Ethernet at line rate.

Designed for deployment in virtualized data centers, cloud service installations and high

performance computing environments, Chelsio T4 adapters bring a new level of performance

metrics and functional capabilities to the computer networking industry.
