AFT is essentially “NIC fail-over.” It requires two identical NICs and a special software package to configure them. By purchasing the Intel Pro 100+ Server adapter with configuration software in addition to the identical NIC on the E8000 Server Board, true NIC fault tolerance can be established under Microsoft* Windows* NT 4.0 or Novell* Netware* 4.11 Network Operating Systems.
