Description
Product Overview
The 540-BBFO Dell Broadcom 57810S is a 2 port Converged Network Adapter (CNA) designed for use in high-performance computing and networking environments. It is designed to provide fast and reliable network connectivity to servers, storage devices, and other network devices.
Converged Network Adapter
A Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a type of network interface card (NIC) that combines the functions of multiple network adapters into a single card. It is designed to provide both data networking and storage networking capabilities over a single network connection. CNAs are commonly used in high-performance computing and networking environments to reduce the number of network adapters and cables required, which can help to simplify network infrastructure and reduce costs.
Key Features of the 540-BBFO Dell Broadcom 57810S CNA:
Dual-port 10GBASE-T Ethernet Connectivity:
The 540-BBFO Dell Broadcom 57810S CNA features dual-port 10GBASE-T Ethernet connectivity, which provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) per port. This makes it ideal for use in high-performance computing and networking environments where fast and reliable network connectivity is essential.
Low-latency Ethernet
The 540-BBFO Dell Broadcom 57810S CNA supports low-latency Ethernet, which helps to reduce network latency and improve network performance. This is achieved through the use of advanced network technologies such as Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and Data Center Bridging (DCB).
PCI Express 2.0 (5GT/s) Interface
The 540-BBFO Dell Broadcom 57810S CNA features a PCI Express 2.0 (5GT/s) interface, which provides high-speed connectivity to the server or storage device. This interface is backward-compatible with older PCI Express interfaces, which makes it easy to upgrade existing server or storage infrastructure.
Dual-port Flexibility
The 540-BBFO Dell Broadcom 57810S CNA features dual-port flexibility, which allows it to support multiple network topologies and configurations. This includes support for both LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) and mezzanine card configurations, which can help to simplify network infrastructure and reduce costs.
Virtualization Support
The 540-BBFO Dell Broadcom 57810S CNA provides advanced virtualization support, including support for VMware® NetQueue, Microsoft® VMQ, and Linux® Receive Side Scaling (RSS). This helps to improve network performance in virtualized environments by offloading network processing tasks to the network adapter.
