New White Paper on Intel's I/OAT with the Scalable Networking Pack

I'm back, healthy and attempting to catch up from TechEd 2007.  While it was a killer time down in Orlando, there was plenty of good stuff piled up on my desk (and in my inbox) on my return to Redmond.

One of those items on the "good stuff" pile, was a newly published white paper my marketing peers at Intel and I put together to describe how Intel's I/OAT technology works with the Scalable Networking Pack for Windows Server 2003 (and as part of Windows Server 2003 SP2).

And now, without further ado, here's a link to the paper:

Introduction to Intel I/O Acceleration Technology and the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack

To help whet your appetite to download, here's the abstract:

This white paper examines the need for IT organizations to eliminate the I/O bottlenecks that can occur in the face of ever larger volumes of network traffic. The paper describes how Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT), which uses features of the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack, moves network data more efficiently through Intel Xeon processor-based servers for fast, scalable, and reliable networking. Intel I/OAT provides network acceleration that scales seamlessly across multiple Ethernet ports and is a safe and flexible choice because it is tightly integrated into Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and other popular operating systems.

Hey, don't forget to check out the other resources up on our Scalable Networking TechNet site, and also look for even more exciting networking offload support coming in Windows Server 2008.
