Designed for today's enterprise and data center environments, Broadcom's 1G Ethernet Adapters are the ideal solution for multicore servers, delivering full line-rate throughput across all ports.

The N41T quad-port 1Gb OCP 3.0 adapter is a 13th-generation 10/100/1000BASE-T and 10/100/1000BASE-X Ethernet LAN controller solution for high-performance server and networking applications. The host interface supports a separate PCI Express function for each LAN interface. The N41GBT OCP 3.0 adapter includes I/O Virtualization (IOV) features such as 17 receive and 16 transmit queues, and 17 MSI-X vectors with flexible vector-to-queue association. These IOV features enable the BCM5719 to support the VMWare® NetQueue and Microsoft® VMQ technologies.

The N41T OCP 3.0 adapter includes a comprehensive set of hardware features that the system may use to implement IEEE 1588 or IEEE 802.1AS-based time synchronization.

9600 Series 24G PCIe 4.0 Tri-Mode RAID Adapters and eHBAs | 3rd-Generation Tri-Mode x8 and x16 NVMe/ SAS/SATA MegaRAID® Adapters and eHBAs

The High-Performing 16- and 24-Port Family of 9600 RAID and eHBAs Delivers Breakthrough RAID Rebuild Times, Application Storage Performance, and Advanced Data Protection Capabilities.

The new Broadcom® 9600 family of 24G SAS MegaRAID adapters and HBAs address the performance shift that today's data centers are facing as they transition to higher core count CPUs and SSD-based server storage. The 9600 series Tri-Mode RAID adapters and eHBAs enable high-performing 24G serial-attached SCSI (SAS), PCIe Gen 4.0 storage connectivity, and flexible system designs to support NVMe, SAS, and SATA devices.

The 16- and 24-port 9600 series adapters are powered by the Broadcom 8th generation of Tri-Mode 4000 series I/O Controllers (IOC) and 4100 series RAID-on-Chip (ROC) families, based on the industry-leading Fusion- MPT (Message Passing Technology). MegaRAID and eHBA 9600 series of adapters deliver 2x the bandwidth and up to 2x the IOPS (4K RR); with the MegaRAID adapters also delivering more than 3x the RAID 5 IOPS (4K RW).

Broadcom continues to offer the industry's broadest portfolio of storage solutions, backed by decades of experience and trusted by the world's leading server and storage suppliers. Broadcom provides the building blocks for storage solutions that help customers prioritize, store, protect, and secure critical data.

Tri-Mode SerDes Technology

Broadcom Tri-Mode SerDes technology enables the operation of NVMe, SAS, and SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. A single RAID or eHBA adapter can operate in all three modes concurrently servicing NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives. The adapter can negotiate between speeds and protocols to seamlessly work with any of the three types of storage devices. Tri-Mode support provides a non-disruptive way to evolve existing data infrastructure. By upgrading to a Tri-Mode adapter, users can expand beyond SAS/SATA and use NVMe without major changes to other system configurations. The 9600 series adapters are compatible with SlimSAS 24G SFF-8654 internal or SFF-8674 external connectors. The 9600 adapters are also compatible with existing PCI Express SFF-8639 Module (U.2) backplanes allowing users to boost performance for today's ever increasing bandwidth requirements.

The introduction of PCIe devices executing NVMe command sets to the existing SAS/SATA infrastructure makes industry- standard hot-pluggable drive bays even more versatile. The Tri-Mode interface provides SAS data transfer rates of 22.5, 12, and 6Gb/s per lane, SATA at 6Gb/s data transfer rates per lane, or PCIe data transfer rates of up to 16.0 GT/s per lane and is backward compatible to 5.0/2.5 GT/s. The storage controllers automatically negotiate between the speeds and protocols. A T-10 End-to-End Data Protection (EEDP) model for early detection of and recovery from data corruption, and Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for EMI reduction are supported. Additional features include SAS 2.1 power management and DataBolt2 technology, allowing users to take advantage of 24Gb/s speeds while utilizing existing 12 and 6Gb/s drives and backplanes.
