Overview
Broadcom® now offers a quad-port 1Gb Ethernet
(GbE) Network Interface Card (NIC) for Dell®
PowerEdge® 12G rack and tower servers. It leverages Broadcom's long-standing industry leadership
in Ethernet, providing the highest levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for the enterprise
data center.
Designed for today's enterprise, the Broadcom
5719-based NIC adapter is the ideal solution for
multicore servers, delivering full line-rate throughput across all ports. The adapter utilizes
Broadcom's quad-port BCM5719 integrated
controller to deliver lower power consumption and
Energy Efficient Ethernet™ (EEE), reducing IT
operation costs.
Increasing application workloads are placing
greater demands on enterprise networks, and the
Broadcom 5719-based quad-port 1GbE NIC is the
solution of choice for such environments, providing
a reliable, high-performance, energy-efficient 1GbE
connectivity solution.

Benefits
Specifications
• Accelerates Server Performance:
– Boosts network performance with full line-rate performance across all ports.
– Maximizes server processing performance 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:
– Precision Time Protocol (PTP)—Provides greater accuracy
of data packet delivery within the network.
– Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)—Reduces adapter power
consumption by up to 42% through intelligent adaptive
power management, adjusting power based on data
traffic load.
