General Features

Industry-Proven Technology

The FastFrame NS12 is built on an industry standard Ethernet technology from Intel. It simplifies networking administration, integrates seamlessly into existing environments and reduces the total cost of ownership by improving connection bandwidth and eliminating redundant network infrastructure components.

Flexible Connectivity Solutions

The FastFrame NS12 provides the most flexible and scalable connectivity for today's data center environments. By leveraging data center bridging and support for software iSCSI initiators FastFrame NS12 offers the ability to support both local and storage area networks. With broad operating system support NS12 offers optimized connectivity for high bandwidth environments.

Performance Engineered

The FastFrame NS12 with support for link aggregation and failover, offers redundancy and high availability for critical network applications. The FastFrame NS12 provides industry-leading throughput and latency management with minimal CPU utilization and power consumption. With 10 Gb/s data transfer rate and multiple offloads (IPsec, TCP, IPv4, UDP) FastFrame NS12 is the premier connectivity choice for bandwidth-intensive applications such as data back-up and restoration, clustered computing, IP content delivery, medical imaging and video rendering. With multi-core processors driving the need for higher bandwidth, FastFrame NS12 delivers superior throughput to meet that need.

Advanced Network Management

The FastFrame NS12 provides a common foundation for both Ethernet and storage networks. It leverages unified network investments and eliminates the need for multiple adapters and switches, while reducing power and cooling expenses. By providing multi-protocol support and leveraging 10 GB converged enhanced Ethernet links, FastFrame NS12 dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of a data center's cabling infrastructure.
