This is a Broadcom 57810S Dual-Port 10GBASE-T Converged Network Adapter (CNA) (P/N: BCM957810A1008G). This high-performance PCIe card is engineered to consolidate LAN (Ethernet) and SAN (storage) traffic over a single 10GbE connection, providing a powerful and flexible I/O solution for enterprise servers. It is the ideal choice for data centers looking to reduce adapter and cable complexity while maintaining high performance.
Key Features
-
Converged Networking (CNA): This adapter supports full hardware offloads for storage protocols like iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), in addition to standard TCP/IP Ethernet traffic. This significantly reduces server CPU utilization for storage tasks.
-
10GBASE-T Connectivity: Features two RJ-45 ports that deliver 10GbE speeds over standard, cost-effective Cat6a/Cat7 copper Ethernet cabling up to 100 meters.
-
Reduced TCO: By consolidating LAN and SAN traffic onto a single adapter, a CNA reduces the number of cards, cables, and switch ports required, lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for your data center.
-
High Performance: Built on Broadcom's proven architecture, this card delivers the low latency and high throughput required for demanding enterprise applications and virtualized environments.
