The Allied Telesis ANC25SP PCIe 3.0 Ethernet controller is designed to build highlyscalable, feature-rich networking solutions in servers for enterprise and cloud-scale networking and storage applications, including high-performance computing, telco, machine learning, storage disaggregation, and data nalytics. It combines a highbandwidth Ethernet controller with a unique set of highly-optimized hardware acceleration engines to enhance network performance and improve server efficiency.
Hardware Acceleration
With its market-leading hardware acceleration technologies, the ANC25SP Series PCIe 3.0 Ethernet controller addresses these performance and service demands of mega-scale data center networks with high throughput and advanced flow processing. Features such as TruFlow™ increase VM density up to 0 percent, freeing more CPU cycles for additional virtual machines. On-chip tunneling protocol processing for Geneve, VXLAN, and NVGRE provides up to a 5X throughput increase while lowering CPU utilization up to 90 percent compared to software-only solutions. NetXtreme®-E Series solutions also support advanced networking technologies such as RoCE, SDN and NFV, to facilitate the management of data networks and to enable service provider solutions.
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 igabit or higher ports to satisfy the I/O demands
Superior functionality
The ANC25SP features TruFlow™, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), Data Center Bridging (DCB), Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), Stateless Offloads, and Congestion Avoidance
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 Network Adapters over a variety of operating systems and platforms, ensuring compatibility. The ANC25SP takes full advantage of the PCI-Express bus architecture to maximize network throughput. Teaming enables Smart Load Balancing (SLB), which helps increase throughput and fault tolerance when multiple adapters are configured to share traffic and provide data reliability with failover.
NIC Partitioning
The ANC25 provides an unprecedented level of governance across the entire network, enabling detailed tests, analysis, and diagnostics for each network adapter installed in the system. It includes utilities to help configure VLANs and set up teams for link aggregation, SLB, failover, and more. The ANC25 ncludes a comprehensive Microsoft Windows utility which performs detailed tests, diagnostics and analysis
