The PCI Express SmartLink is Magma’s solution to ultimately replacing the 10Gb Ethernet network with PCI Express technology and be the network fabric of the Enterprise Server architecture.
Many advantages to such an approach with PCI Express SmartLink There are overwhelming advantages to such an approach. The PCI Express SmartLink allows for communication between two separate and independent system memory resources by two Root Complex Processors at wire speeds. This approach is highly scalable by regulating the communication bandwidth with the addition of PCI Express Lanes as dictated by latency requirements of your system network architecture. The maximum bandwidth achievable in such a configuration is 8 GB/sec for simultaneous transmit and receive with PCI Express Gen2 technology.
Solutions with PCI Express SmartLink The combination of PCI Express SmartLink cards installed in PCI Express backplanes of servers and workstations provide a reliable data link path that allow for Clustering and Virtualization applications. Inquire about Magma’s own Clustering Solution. Other similar solutions can be conceived by users of the PCI Express SmartLink cards.
Communication latency with PCI Express SmartLink The robust inherent datalink protocol built into the PCI Express specification makes the TCP/IP protocol stack absolutely redundant when communicating between two or more Host Platforms. The elimination of this stack reduces CPU overhead and makes the data transfers exceedingly efficient. RDMA further enhances this by additionally off-loading the CPU from this task.
Solution cheaper than 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express is fast becoming ubiquitous in the embedded world with more and more devices having it built-in to their interface. This is contributing to a significant cost advantage for solutions using PCI Express technology as compared to 10Gb Ethernet.
Features and Benefits
Versatile configurations allow connectivity between a wide variety of workstations, servers and expansion chassis
High bandwidth (1GB/sec) solution for Host to Host or Host to Expansion applications
Communication link to build PCI Express based cluster in gof Host solution
Low profile host card allows for easy installation in low profile computers
Configurable for a variety of connectivity applications
PCI Express“Gen2 Ready”
Ideal for implementing a near zero latency server failure architecture
Ideal for clustering servers with low latency communication links
