hardware offload for network
(TCP/IP) and storage (FCoE/
iSCSI) data traffic.
• Streamlines administrative
tasks: Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) management
application and integration into
Dell's embedded management
framework (iDRAC7 and
Lifecycle Controller).

Overview
Broadcom® now offers a quad-port Network
Daughter Card (NDC), with two 1 Gigabit (GbE) and
two 10 Gigabit (10GbE) Ethernet connectivity ports
for Dell® PowerEdge® 12G rack servers. It leverages
Broadcom's long-standing industry leadership in
Ethernet, providing the highest level of
performance, efficiency, and scalability for the
enterprise data center.
For more effective utilization of the 10GbE
bandwidth, the Broadcom 57800-based rack NDC
offers Switch Independent Partitioning which
enables the segmentation of each 10GbE port into
two virtual ports, with flexible allocation of bandwidth to each port. This allows IT organizations to
improve resource utilization while lowering infrastructure and operational costs.
Virtualization, cloud computing, HighPerformance Computing (HPC), convergence, and
clustering initiatives are increasing workload
demands. The Broadcom 57800S-based rack NDC is
the solution of choice for workload-intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, highperformance 10GbE connectivity solution.
