Broadcom® Broadcom 5781 0S-B ased 10 GBAS E- T C o nve rged N et wo r k Ada p ter Third-party information brought to you courtesy of Dell®. DUAL-PORT 10GbE (10GBASE-T) 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. • Interoperable with 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps. 57810S Cloud Computing Virtual Server High-Performance Computing Best Choice Broadcom® now offers a dual-port 10GBASE-T 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 level of performance, efficiency, and scalability for the enterprise data center. For more effective utilization of the 10GbE bandwidth, the Broadcom 57810-based CNA offers Switch Independent Partitioning which enables segmentation of each 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, High-Performance 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.
