Network Interface Cards

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. These hardware features include a high-precision clock, timestamp registers for receive/transmit packets, and programmable trigger inputs and watchdog outputs.

Leveraging long-standing industry leadership in Ethernet, Broadcom now offers the NetXtreme BCM5720-2P Ethernet Server Adapter, providing the highest levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for the enterprise data center.

Designed for today's enterprise and data center environments, the Broadcom BCM5720-2P Ethernet Server adapter is the ideal solution for multicore servers, delivering full line-rate throughput across all ports. The adapter utilizes Broadcom's field-proven dual-port BCM5720-2P integrated controller device to deliver lower power consumption and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), reducing IT operation costs. The BCM5720-2P is compatible with x86 and x64 servers utilizing the PCIe v1.x and v2.x interfaces.

Increasing application workloads are placing greater demands on enterprise networks, and the BCM5720-2P-based dual-port 1GbE Server Adapter is the solution of choice for such environments, providing a reliable, highperformance, energy-efficient 1GbE connectivity solution.
