AT-ANC10S

PCI-Express 10 Gigabit Network Interface Card

The Allied Telesis AT-ANC10S dual-port direct attach 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express

Network Interface Card (NIC) is the next-generation NIC, featuring SR-IOV offload
combined with standard Ethernet functionality. Together, these features provide the
necessary performance and bandwidth critical to I/O-intensive applications such as
virtualization and High Performance Computing (HPC).

Optimized for Virtualization

Using multi-port cards in virtualized
environments is critical to the
application in order to provide
redundancy and data connectivity for
the workloads in virtual machines. Due
to specific slot limitations, and the
need for redundancy/data connectivity,
it is usually recommended that
virtualized servers use 10 Gigabit ports
to satisfy the I/O demands.

Virtual Machine Device Queues
(VMware Direct-Path)

VMware Direct-Path (SR-IOV) reduces
I/O overhead on the hypervisor in a
virtualized server by performing data
sorting and uniting it in the network
silicon. This feature requires an
operating system (OS) that supports
VMware Direct-Path (SR-IOV).

Virtual Machine Device Queues
(VMDQ) make use of multiple queues
in the network controller. As data
packets enter the card, they are sorted,
and packets travelling to the same
destination or virtual machine are
grouped together in a single queue.

The packets are sent to the hypervisor,

which directs them to their respective
virtual machines. Removing the strain
of packet filtering and sorting from
the hypervisor improves overall CPU
usage and throughput.

The AT-ANC10S provides improved

performance with next-generation
technology (VMware Direct-Path,
Netqueue, SR-IOV), which includes

features such as loop back (inter-VM
communication) and priority-weighted
bandwidth management. The number
of data queues per port is increased
to 64, and the interface card also
supports multicast and broadcast data
on a virtualized server.

Superior Functionality

The AT-ANC10S includes dedicated

hardware and processors to process
frames at the highest levels in the
operating system for both transmit
and receive paths — advantageous for
virtualization applications.

More Bandwidth with PCIe

The PCI-Express (PCIe) design

provides the maximum possible
bandwidth and bus efficiency. Other
benefits include capability and low
power consumption.

Performance and Reliability

Allied Telesis validates its NICs over

a variety of operating systems and
platforms, ensuring compatibility. The

AT-ANC10S takes full advantage of

the PCI-Express bus architecture
to maximize network throughput.

Teaming enables Smart Load

Balancing (SLB) to help increase
throughput and fault tolerance when
multiple adapters are configured to
work together to share traffic and
provide data reliability with failover.
