Description
Product Description
The 440-4420 Dell 10GBE Sfp Broadcom 57810S Converged Network Adapter is a network interface card that allows for high-speed data transfer between a server and network. This adapter is specifically designed for Dell servers and provides advanced features for converged networking.
Converged Network Adapter
A Converged Network Adapter, or CNA, is a network interface card that allows for both LAN and SAN traffic to travel over the same connection. This technology helps reduce the number of network interface cards needed in a server, which can help reduce costs and complexity.
What is 10GBE
10GBE is short for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, which is a high-speed Ethernet technology that allows for data transfer rates of up to 10 gigabits per second. This technology is commonly used in data centers and other high-performance computing environments.
Features of the Converged Network Adapter
The 440-4420 Dell 10GBE Sfp Broadcom 57810S Converged Network Adapter offers a range of advanced features for converged networking, including:
- Dual-port 10GBE connectivity: The adapter features two 10GBE SFP+ ports for high-speed connectivity.
- Hardware offloads: The adapter includes hardware offloads for TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE protocols, which help reduce CPU utilization and improve performance.
- NIC partitioning: The adapter supports NIC partitioning, which allows for the creation of multiple virtual NICs on a single adapter. This feature can help improve network utilization and reduce costs.
- Network virtualization: The adapter supports network virtualization technologies such as VMware VMDq and Microsoft VMQ, which can help improve performance and reduce latency.
- Data center bridging: The adapter supports data center bridging (DCB) technologies such as priority flow control (PFC) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS), which can help improve the reliability and efficiency of converged networks.
