What is eBUS?
eBUS is the core software architecture that drives Pleora’s newest generation of high-performance device drivers. Building on the success of our high-performance iPORT drivers, eBUS allows GigE NIC (network interface card/chip) hardware to emulate direct, bus-like transactions with PC subsystems at the kernel level. eBUS leverages Intel’s I/OAT architecture to basically eliminate CPU usage in the PC, while delivering fast and efficient response times. The eBUS architecture supports two products: The eBUS Universal Driver which runs on almost any vendor’s NIC and combines the performance of a dedicated driver with the flexibility of a traditional filter driver; and The eBUS Optimal Driver which runs on Intel’s PRO/1000 family of NICs and 825xx chips and is optimized for demanding applications with particularly heavy processing overheads Like iPORT drivers, eBUS is bundled with Pleora’s iPORT IP Engines at no extra charge as part of a complete, end-to-end GigE connectivity solution.
