NetXen's 10 Gigabit Ethernet blade networking solution provides the high performance, scalability and virtualization capabilities required by next-generation data center environments. NetXen's award-winning 10 Gigabit Ethernet Intelligent NIC® technology has a dramatic impact on virtualization capabilities. Not only does it provide bandwidth sufficient to support a far larger number of high-performance virtual machines, but also intelligent 10Gb Ethernet networking helps enhance data center agility, energy efficiency and improve throughput while reducing host CPU utilization. This allows overall system performance to scale with workloads.

Deploying Intelligent NIC cards from NetXen in combination with IBM BladeCenter H takes virtualization to the next level by enabling server, storage, and I/O virtualization across multiple chassis of blades. By bringing the industry's first 10Gb Ethernet blade solutions to market, IBM and NetXen are uniquely positioned to drive the transformation of data center networks to next-generation Ethernet technology.
