Allied Telesis AT 2970SX/2SC

Allied Telesis AT 2970SX/2SC ... fail-safe network connectivity. By transferring CPU load from the computer to the adapter card, host resources are freed for more productive system tasks. The dual link AT-2970SX/2SC satisfies the need for true redundancy and fault-tolerance in a Gigabit Ethernet environment by providing an additional Gigabit backup to the network.

The AT-2970 series is designed for the 64bit/66MHz bus system, which combines the largest data path with the fastest possible data transfer for the ultimate performance in a server adapter card. Additionally, the AT-2970 series is fully compatible with 32bit and 33MHz buses. The card also supports full multi-master capability, which allows multiple bus masters to operate on the same bus, freeing the server to run applications to provide other services. The Allied Telesis' AT-2970 series of server cards supports Gigabit Ethernet standards and is available with single or dual links. This unique capability provides a redundant link in a single PCI slot for crucial server applications that require guaranteed connectivity. The AT-2970SX series of cards allows for network extensions up to 550 meters. RLMT (Redundant Link Management Technology) manages unattended and automatic failure recovery of broken links. Advanced server NIC features like VLAN support, as well as SNMP and RMON, provide efficient network management and operation.
