The IBM 10 GbE SR Server Adapter is one of the first 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters available with support for PCI-X 2.0. When used in IBM eServer xSeries systems based on IBM eServer X3 Architecture, this adapter delivers breakthrough 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance - up to 10 times the performance of today's gigabit Ethernet adapters and significantly better performance than equivalent PCI-X 1.0-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet solutions. This paper reports the results of measurements conducted to quantify the performance increase for IBM eServer xSeries systems and Xframe II adapters utilizing PCI-X 2.0 bus interfaces as compared to PCI-X 1.0-based 10 Gigabit solutions.
