Cisco 8th Generation 10Gb Ethernet Adapter with Universal RDMA
The FastLinQ® QL41162HLRJ-CI 10Gb Intelligent Ethernet Adapter with Universal Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)-available in 10GBASE-T (RJ45)-supports LAN (TCP/IP) traffic at 10Gb Ethernet line-rate speeds. The QL41162HLRJ-CI provides extremely low host CPU usage by enabling full stateless offloads over dual-port RJ45 connectors.
The QL41162HLRJ-CI, based on Cavium™ eighth-generation ASIC controllers, leverages Cavium's long-standing industry leadership in Ethernet by providing the highest levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for the enterprise data center.
For more effective use of the 10GbE bandwidth, the FastLinQ QL41162HLRJ-CI Intelligent Ethernet Adapter offers switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR), which enables segmentation of a single 10GbE port into multiple network partitions and dynamic allocation of bandwidth to each port. The segmentation allows IT organizations to optimize resources while lowering infrastructure and operational costs.
The evolution of data centers-triggered by high-density server virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN), and multitenant cloud computing platforms-demands a high-performance 10GbE solution that boosts CPU efficiency, and reduces capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX) of the migration to 10GbE. The FastLinQ QL41162HLRJ-CI Intelligent Ethernet Adapter is the solution of choice for workload-intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, high- performance 10GbE connectivity solution.
