DUAL-PORT 10GbE CONVERGED NETWORK ADAPTER FOR
DELL® PowerEdge® 12G SERVERS
Overview
Highlights
• Delivers full line-rate 10GbE
performance across all ports.
• Consolidates network traffic and
storage traffic over converged
10GbE connections.
• Enables provisioning of 10GbE
ports for greater deployment
flexibility through Switch
Independent Partitioning.
• Boosts host CPU efficiency with
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).
• Improves reliability and
interoperability—leverages
Broadcom's market-proven
Ethernet architecture and
software.

Best Choice
Broadcom® now offers a dual-port 10GbE
Converged Network Adapter (CNA) 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.
For more effective utilization of the 10GbE bandwidth, the Broadcom 57810S-based CNA offers
Switch Independent Partitioning which enables
segmentation of a single 10GbE port into four
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 57810S-based CNA is the
solution of choice for workload-intensive
computing environments, providing a reliable,
high-performance 10GbE connectivity solution.

Benefits
Specifications
• Accelerates Server Performance:
– Boosts network performance with full line-rate 10GbE
performance across all ports.
– Increases server performance with full hardware offload
for storage traffic.
– Delivers highest networking performance and lowest CPU
utilization with TCP/IP offload (TOE).
– 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).
• Includes Robust Virtualization Capabilities:
– Provides superior network performance with support for
VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ technologies.
– Enhances network management and efficiency with
support for VLAN tagging.
• Streamlines Deployment and Management:
– Increases network flexibility, scalability, and capacity with
Switch Independent Partitioning, segmenting 10GbE ports
and reallocating their bandwidth and resources to address
application's performance requirements.
– Simplifies deployment and management complexity—
Broadcom Ethernet solutions available across a wide
range of Dell server platforms.
– Unifies the NIC and storage management using Dell iDRAC
and Lifecycle Controller management framework or
Broadcom Advanced Management Suite (BACS).
