Designed for today's cloud-scale and enterprise environments, the Broadcom Ethernet NIC network adapters are the ideal solution for high-performance virtualization, intelligent flow processing, secure data center connectivity, and machine learning.
Open Compute Project (OCP) NIC 3.0 allows cloud providers and server OEMs to utilize compact server designs that can accommodate higher power density for high-performance NICs with advanced hardware acceleration capabilities. The form-factor also simplifies operations to lower the total cost of ownership.
Broadcom offers a complete OCP NIC 3.0 Ethernet portfolio supporting the full range of speeds and feeds, from 1G to 400G, on one same Small Form Factor (SFF). This portfolio leverages Broadcom's comprehensive family of low-power Ethernet controller ASICs.
Broadcom's Ethernet network controllers deliver best-in-class performance and hardware acceleration and offload capabilities that result in higher throughput, higher CPU efficiency, and lower workload latency for TCP/IP as well as RoCE traffic.
Broadcom OCP NIC 3.0 Ethernet adapters utilize the market-leading 100/50G PAM-4 and PCIe 4.0/5.0 SerDes technology, enabling extended length Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, ensuring seamless interoperability with Broadcom's market-leading Top-of-Rack switch and PCIe Express switch solutions that also use the same SerDes technology.
Broadcom Ethernet adapters support SPDM-compliant attestation. Attestation enables data center operators to securely verify the authenticity and conformity of the hardware and software deployed in their data center.
Broadcom Ethernet adapters are supported with a full suite of drivers for all major operating system distributions and versions. The latest firmware, drivers, and tools can be downloaded from www.broadcom.com.
