Description
Cavium offers a dual-port 25/10GbE OCP Intelligent Ethernet Adapter with Universal RDMA offloads for Open Compute Project (OCP) servers. The dual-port QL41232HOCU-CI adapter leverages the Caviumlong-standing industry leadership in Ethernet, providing the highest level of performance, efficiency, and scalability for Open Compute server and storage applications in Web 2.0, enterprise data centers, and cloud infrastructure. For more effective use of the bandwidth, the FastLinQ Intelligent Ethernet Adapter from Cavium offers switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR), which enables segmentation of each 25/10GbE port into four virtual ports, with flexible allocation of bandwidth to each port. The segmentation allows IT organizations to improve resource utilization while lowering infrastructure and operational costs. Virtualization, cloud computing, high-performance computing, convergence, and clustering initiatives are increasing workload demands. Cavium's cutting-edge server and network virtualization features-Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE), Genetic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), and Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) tunneling offloads-deliver the most advanced 25/10GbE adapter. The FastLinQ QL41232HOCU-CI Intelligent Ethernet Adapter is the solution of choice for workload-intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, high-performance 25/10GbE connectivity solution.FEATURES Dual-port 25G/10G connectivity for OCP servers Backward compatibility with 10GbE infrastructure for complete investment protection x8 PCI Express® (PCIe®) 3.0 (8GTps) support Accelerate the most demanding telco NFV workloads with the Cavium data plane development kit (DPDK) high-speed packet processingengine Orchestrate and manage hyperscale OpenStack® deployments with Cavium cloud-enabled management framework Universal remote direct memory access (RDMA) technologies-RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), RoCEv2, and Internet wide area RDMA protocol (iWARP) VXLAN, NVGRE, GRE, and GENEVE tunneling offloads Network boot support iSCSI remote boot Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) 2.0 MSI and MSI-X support IPv4 and IPv6 offloads PCI-SIG® single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) support Comprehensive stateless offloads Receive side scaling (RSS) Transmit side scaling (TSS) Jumbo frame support up to 9,600 bytes Network teaming, failover, and load balancing: Switch-independent teaming modes Switch-dependent teaming modes-link aggregation control protocol (LACP) and generic trunking Data center bridging (DCB)
