About Chelsio Communications

Chelsio Technical Overview

Chelsio Communications is the market and technology leader for 10
Gigabit Ethernet adapters. Chelsio's board-level products employ the
company's unique ICs that process compute-intensive communications
protocols at 10Gbps rates. Unburdened of this communications-processing
overhead, host servers and storage systems that use Chelsio adapters
dramatically increase both applications performance, and communications
bandwidth.

â–º Chelsio products accelerate network performance in enterprise data
centers, high performance cluster computing (HPCC), enterprise-wide
data storage systems, and post-production shops for digital film and
video. Chelsio is a privately-held subsystems company in Sunnyvale,
California.

The technology we work are:

TCP Offload Engine (TOE)
10-Gbit/s iSCSI SAN
RDMA (InfiniBand)

► Chelsio’s flagship board-level protocol engine is the world’s
best performing 10GbE adapter.
► It employs Chelsio’s unique Terminator ASIC that processes
TCP�IP, iSCSI, and other upper-layer protocols – unburdening the
host-system’s CPU of these tasks.
â–º Unlike competitive solutions that tax the host-system CPU to
process these protocols, Chelsio’s TCP Offload Engine (TOE)
technology dramatically increase the host-system’s CPU performance,
as well as it’s network bandwidth.
