Description
100 Gigabit Ethernet Low-Profile Dual-Port Fibre and DAC QSFP28 Network Interface Card
High-performance dual-port 100GbE Ethernet adapter based on the Intel® E810-CAM2 and compatible with the Netgate® 8300
This dual-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 PCI Express Network Interface Card provides simple integration into a PCI Express x16 slot for connection to 100 Gigabit networks. Its performance is optimised to prevent system I/O from becoming a bottleneck in high-performance networking applications.
Based on the Intel E810-CAM2 Ethernet controller, the card provides two fully integrated 100GbE ports, an enhanced programmable packet-processing pipeline and advanced virtualisation capabilities. These include enhanced SR-IOV support for up to 256 Virtual Functions, backward-compatible Virtual Function driver support, fine-grained scheduling, transmit head-drop support, enhanced Quality of Service and burst control.
The adapter also supports Remote Direct Memory Access through iWARP and RoCE v2, making it suitable for multiple network segments, mission-critical networking applications and high-performance server environments.
