Description
Product Overview
The Dell 540-BDDS Ethernet 100GB QSFP28 OCP3 2-Ports PCI-E Network Adapter is a high-performance Ethernet network interface card designed for use in data centers and other enterprise environments. This adapter provides two ports for connecting servers and other devices to high-speed networks, with a maximum bandwidth of 100 Gbps.
Ethernet 100GB QSFP28
Ethernet is a widely used technology for connecting devices on a network, and it supports a variety of speeds and interfaces. The Dell 540-BDDS adapter uses the Ethernet 100GB QSFP28 interface, which provides a maximum bandwidth of 100 Gbps. This is significantly faster than the more common 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps Ethernet interfaces.
OCP3
The Dell 540-BDDS adapter is designed to be compatible with the Open Compute Project version 3.0 (OCP3) standard. This is an open hardware standard for data center components, developed by Facebook, that aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency by using open-source designs and commodity hardware. By using OCP3 components like the Dell 540-BDDS adapter, data center operators can benefit from the cost savings and flexibility that come with open standards.
2-Ports PCI-E
The Dell 540-BDDS adapter is a PCI Express (PCI-E) card with two Ethernet ports. PCI-E is a high-speed interface used to connect components like network cards, graphics cards, and storage controllers to a computer’s motherboard. The use of two ports on a single card reduces the number of slots required to connect multiple devices to the network, which can help to save space in the server room or data center.
Network Adapter
A network adapter is a hardware component that connects a computer or other device to a network. Network adapters come in many different types and speeds, and they can use various interfaces to connect to the network, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The Dell 540-BDDS adapter is a high-performance Ethernet adapter that provides a maximum bandwidth of 100 Gbps, making it ideal for use in data centers and other enterprise environments.
Compatibility
The Dell 540-BDDS adapter is designed to be compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. This makes it a versatile choice for data center operators who may be running a mix of different systems and applications.
Finally, the Dell 540-BDDS Ethernet 100GB QSFP28 OCP3 2-Ports PCI-E Network Adapter is a high-performance network interface card that provides two Ethernet ports with a maximum bandwidth of 100 Gbps. It is designed to be compatible with the Open Compute Project version 3.0 standard, which aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency in data centers. The use of PCI Express and two ports on a single card helps to save space and simplify network connections. The Dell 540-BDDS adapter is a versatile choice for data center operators who may be running a mix of different operating systems and applications.
