Scheda tecnica BCM5720-2P Brief

A BROADGOM. nnnnnnnnnn
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 through-
put 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, high-
performance, energy-efficient 1GbE connectivity
solution.

BENEFITS
•Accelerates Server Performance:
–Boosts network performance with full
line-rate performance across all ports.
–Maximizes server processing perfor-
mance by reducing CPU overhead
and lowering interrupt latency through
the use of the MSI-X standard.
–Boosts performance in Windows and
Linux environments by directing
interrupts to the server's CPU cores,
leveraging Transmit/Receive Side
Scaling (TSS/RSS).
•Delivers Advanced Ethernet
Capabilities:
–Energy Efficient Ethernet—Reduces
adapter power consumption by up to
42% through intelligent adaptive
power management, adjusting power
based on data traffic load.
•Robust Virtualization Capabilities:
–Superior network performance with
support for VMware NetQueue and
Microsoft VMQ technologies.
–Enhances network management and
efficiency with support for VLAN
tagging.
•Streamlines Deployment and
Management:
–Simplifies deployment and manage-
ment complexity—Broadcom
Ethernet solutions available across a
wide range of server platforms.
–Unifies the Server Adapter and stor-
age management using Broadcom
Advanced Management Suite
(BACS).
