Did you know?

The NetXtreme Quad Port Ethernet Adapter is an ideal way to implement a virtualization solution using your
existing Gigabit Ethernet network. With four copper-based Gigabit ports on a single PCI Express 2.0 x4
interface, the adapter provides the density and capacity you need to support large numbers of virtualized
systems on one server.
