The technology innovation of ExpEther expands the power of the PCI Express switch beyond the computer chassis via Ethernet without modification of existing hardware and software. ExpEther 40G devices delivers a compelling solution for real-time Big Data processing and other data center workload acceleration. It does so by enabling the connection of GPGPU, NVMe SSD, or FPGA-based accelerators via an Ethernet connection. Please visit the ExpEther consortium. http://www.expether.org/
These I/O Expansion Unit are connected to the host server via a standard Ethernet by the ExpEther40G Host-Bus adapter (N8104-165). Please see the material of this Host-Bus adapter.
