Low-profile, Dual Port Specialized Gigabit Server Adapter based on Intel 82576 Ethernet Controller

The new Niagara 32265 server adapter provides flexible and robust networking and bypass interface options to the mission-critical IT market. Intel’s 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller enhances the Niagara 32265 by providing PCI Express 2.0 (2.5GT/s) support, 10/100/1000 Based-T auto-negotiation capabilities, low power 2.8W operation, 16 Tx and 16 Rx Queues per port, enhanced virtualization, layer 2 & 3 security including IPSec & LinkSec, and Intel® I/OAT Acceleration v3.0.



The dual port copper server adapter with bypass is designed for high-availability server applications that demand premium performance and maximum uptime in a compact and low-profile form factor. The bypass feature, upon power failure or power loss, allows network traffic to continue by re-routing traffic from the transmitting port directly to the receiving port. This creates a closed loop that bypasses the down appliance, ensuring that network uptime is maintained.



“Interface Masters is announcing its first member of the dual port Gigabit specialized NIC family supporting the Intel 82576 controller. Niagara 32265 supports 2 1GE networking ports with bypass capabilities for mission-critical networking applications that demand high network availability, high-performance features, and efficient throughput in a compact form-factor,” stated Ben Askarinam, founder and CEO of Interface Masters Technologies. “Interface Masters will be expanding the family in the near future by providing additional specialized features.”
