Description
Product Overview of the Dell 540-BCNO
The Dell 540-BCNO Qlogic 2-Port 10/25GBPS SFP28 PCI-E Converge Network Adapter is a high-performance hardware component designed to deliver efficient and reliable connectivity in converged networking environments. In this article, we will explain in detail the features, benefits, and technical specifications of this product.
Features
The Dell 540-BCNO Qlogic 2-Port 10/25GBPS SFP28 PCI-E Converge Network Adapter is a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) card that provides high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices. The adapter features dual SFP28 (Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) ports, which support both 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps Ethernet connectivity. This allows the adapter to handle a wide range of network traffic, including storage, data, and management traffic.
The adapter also supports RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) v2, which provides low-latency and high-bandwidth connectivity over Ethernet networks. Additionally, the adapter supports NIC (Network Interface Card) partitioning, which enables the adapter to be partitioned into multiple virtual NICs, allowing efficient use of network resources and improved network performance.
The adapter is also designed with advanced features such as QoS (Quality of Service), which helps prioritize network traffic based on the application’s importance and bandwidth requirements. The adapter also supports iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), which enables the adapter to support both storage and data traffic on the same network.
