OVERVIEW

As virtualization technologies continue to expand server CPU demand, network performance requirements scale accordingly. This growth demands a new breed of Ethernet connectivity solutions.

Designed and optimized for public and private cloud, the Broadcom

BCM57300 family of

Ethernet Controllers is designed to provide high performance, low latency, and value added features for end-to-end solutions in standard adapter form factors.

The C-series adapters support single-port

40/50 Gbps and single- or dual-port 10/25 Gbps.

They also feature TruFlow™, Data Center

Bridging (DCB), Single Root I/O Virtualization

(SR-IOV), Stateless Offloads, Congestion

Avoidance, and TruManage™.

NetXtreme

C-series Ethernet adapters are available in standard PCIe low-profile and OCP v2.0 Mezzanine form factors. Available I/O configurations include single QSFP28, dual

SFP28, and single SFP28.
