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 rack and tower servers, the Broadcom
®
BCM57410 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 E-series adapters support dual-port 25/10
Gb/s or single port 50/40 Gb/s. They also feature
TruFlow™, Data Center Bridging (DCB), RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), Single Root I/O
Virtualization (SR-IOV), Stateless Offloads and
Congestion Avoidance.
