JVFYI PCIe x8 BCM57840 Quad-10G SFP+ Server Fiber NIC

Key Performance Features

Compliant with PCI Express Revision 3.0 and backward compliant with PCIe2.0 and 1.1

Quad-port 10Gbase-KR/SFF-8431(SFP+) interface for 1Gbps/10Gbps operation

Supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic.

Supports MSI and MSI-X.

Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host system hypervisor in virtual environments providing near metal performance and server efficiency.

Support for I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ help meet the performance demands of consolidated virtual workloads.

Support Checksum and Segmentation Offload capabilities

Supports IPv6, IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the internet.

Support RSS capabilities, RSS enables packet receive-processing to scale with the number of available processors

Supports Precision Time Protocol-ready (PTP)

Support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth, The team of adapters can work together as a single virtual adapter.

Support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.

The PCIe x8 Network Card is a validated, tested, and qualified solution,support for Server Integration

Each BCM57840 ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming,

Support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.

Support Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

Support VMware NetQueue and Windows Hyper-V VMQ

Support Insight Manager (SIM) and SNMP
