Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Improves Health IT ROI

Chelsio Communications announced that its line of Terminator 5 & 6 (T5 & T6) 1/10/25/40/50/100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) iWARP (RDMA/TCP) enabled unified wire adapters have been validated to support hyper-converged infrastructure with Windows Server 2016 Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) deployments. The adapters also do not require Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to support Data Center Bridging (DCB) capabilities. Hyper-converged storage uses software-defined technology to combine storage, networking, and virtualization into one unit that can be managed by one single system. Hyper-convergence gives IT administrators more control over their storage environment by consolidating all of the management features into one system.
