Description
Product Overview
Dell 540-BBUR Broadcom 57412 Dual-Ports 10GbE SFP+ & 5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) used in servers and workstations. This card is designed for use in high-performance computing environments that require high-speed networking. The card is manufactured by Dell, a leading manufacturer of computer hardware and software.
Dual-Ports Network Adapter
The Dell 540-BBUR Broadcom 57412 Dual-Ports 10GbE SFP+ & 5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter features dual ports, which means it has two physical connections to the network. These ports provide redundancy and failover capability, which means if one port fails, the other port can take over the network traffic. The dual-port design also enables load balancing, which means the network traffic can be split between the two ports to provide better performance.
10GbE SFP+
The 10GbE SFP+ interface on the Dell 540-BBUR Broadcom 57412 Dual-Ports 10GbE SFP+ & 5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter is a high-speed networking standard that provides a data transfer rate of up to 10 Gigabits per second. This is significantly faster than the previous standard of 1 Gigabit per second. The SFP+ interface is designed to be used with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, which allow for different types of connectivity, including fiber optic and copper cables.
5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter
The 5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter on the Dell 540-BBUR Broadcom 57412 Dual-Ports 10GbE SFP+ & 5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter is a Gigabit Ethernet adapter that provides two physical connections to the network. This adapter is designed for use in servers and workstations that require high-speed network connectivity. The 5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter is capable of data transfer rates of up to 1 Gigabit per second.
Broadcom 57412 Controller
The Broadcom 57412 controller on the Dell 540-BBUR Broadcom 57412 Dual-Ports 10GbE SFP+ & 5720 Dual-Ports Network Adapter is a high-performance controller that provides advanced networking capabilities. The controller is designed to offload the networking tasks from the host processor, which frees up system resources and improves performance. The Broadcom 57412 controller supports advanced networking features such as TCP/IP offload, RDMA, and iSCSI offload.
TCP/IP Offload
TCP/IP offload is a feature that offloads the processing of the TCP/IP protocol from the host processor to the network adapter. This improves performance by reducing the load on the host processor and allowing the network adapter to handle the networking tasks. TCP/IP offload is particularly useful in high-performance computing environments that require high-speed networking.
RDMA
RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) is a feature that allows data to be transferred directly between the memory of two systems without involving the host processor. This improves performance by reducing the latency and overhead associated with traditional networking protocols. RDMA is used in high-performance computing environments that require low-latency and high-bandwidth networking.
iSCSI Offload
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a protocol used for remote storage access. iSCSI offload is a feature that offloads the processing of the iSCSI protocol from the host processor to the network adapter. This improves performance by reducing the load on the host processor and allowing the network adapter to handle the iSCSI traffic.
