Description
Product Details
The BCM957412N4120DC Broadcom 57412 2 Ports 10GbE SFP+ OCP Network Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) designed for data center environments that require high-performance networking. It features two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports that support data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps, making it ideal for applications that demand low latency and high bandwidth.
Specification of Network Adapter
A network adapter, also known as a network interface card (NIC), is a hardware component that connects a computer or server to a network. It acts as a bridge between the computer’s operating system and the network, allowing the computer to send and receive data over the network. NICs come in various forms, including wired and wireless versions, and support different network protocols and data transfer speeds.
Overview of the Broadcom 57412 Network Adapter
The BCM957412N4120DC Broadcom 57412 2 Ports 10GbE SFP+ OCP Network Adapter is a high-performance NIC designed for use in data center environments that require low-latency and high-bandwidth networking. It is compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware, and supports a range of network protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, and iSCSI.
The Broadcom 57412 network adapter features two 10GbE SFP+ ports, each of which supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps. The SFP+ ports allow for flexible connectivity options, as they can be used with a range of SFP+ transceivers to support different types of network media, including fiber optic and copper cables.
The network adapter also supports a range of advanced features, including TCP/IP offload engines (TOEs), which offload processing tasks from the CPU to the network adapter, freeing up system resources and reducing latency. It also supports hardware-based iSCSI initiators and target offload, which allows for high-speed data transfer between storage devices over a network.
OCP Form Factor
The Broadcom 57412 network adapter is designed with an Open Compute Project (OCP) form factor. OCP is an initiative that aims to design open, efficient, and scalable data center hardware. The OCP form factor is a standard for network adapters that allows for flexible and modular designs, making it easier to integrate network adapters into data center environments.
