Netgear GA620 GA620 Product datasheet

As 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet technology becomes very affordable and widely

installed on desktops across businesses both big and small, the information

bottleneck is being pushed back to the network server.

NETGEAR

’s

GA620 Gigabit Ethernet Card opens up the bottleneck by providing up to

2 Gbps, or 2000 Mbps, of bandwidth. At the same time, the GA620 features

CruiseControl to offload the host CPU, freeing the server to perform

other tasks.

POWERFUL

Provides network input/output capacity of 1 gigabit per second (2 Gbps in full-duplex

mode)

—

10 times that of Fast Ethernet and 100 times that of Ethernet.

COMPATIBLE

Demonstrated interoperability with all major, IEEE 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet

equipment on the market.

ACCOMMODATING

Includes CruiseControl, a set of functions that offload the host CPU. When traffic load

is relatively light, it interrupts the host as soon as a packet arrives in order to maximize

response. In heavy traffic, the GA620 aggregates multiple packets before notifying

the host.

ELEMENTARY

While the GA620 provides significant state-of-the-art technology, installation is quick and

simple. NETGEAR provides drivers for WindowsNT

TM

and NetWare that can be installed

in several easy, intuitive steps.
