  • 36 x 40GbE
  • Dual Port 40GbE NICs
• Flexible 40GbE
  • Switch ports dynamically configured as 40GbE and as 10GbE
  • QSFP NICs operates at 10Gb/s or 40Gb/s
• Low Latency
  • Switch port-to-port latency, 230ns at 40GbE
  • RDMA application latency less than 1.3us
  • Sockets application latency as low as 4us
• Low Power
  • Switch typical power consumption: 2.8W/40GbE port
  • NIC typical power consumption: 3.4W/40GbE port

Key Features: Superior performance with stateless TCIP/IP and TCP Chimney offloads Easy to deploy and manage with the OneCommandT Manager application Enterprise-ready with hardware parity, CRC, ECC, and other advanced error checking.

• Industry-leading performance per watt  reduces operational expense (OpEx) and supports "green" data center initiatives
• Protocol offloads support VEngineT technology that enables more virtual machines per server
• OneConnect Universal Multi-Channel (UMC) allows multiple PCI functions to be created on each adapter; each port can present four NIC functions to the operating system or hypervisor.
• Support for NetQueue for VMware and Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V to optimize performance and maximize virtualization ratios.
• Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) support improves I/O performance with virtual server deployments
• Future-proof option to enable Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or iSCSI support with high-performance protocol offloads
