Dell 04RN58 Broadcom 57414 2 x Ports 25GbE SFP28 Network Adapter Card

Description

The Dell 04RN58 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) manufactured by Broadcom (model BCM57414) and distributed by Dell. This adapter is equipped with two Small Form-factor Pluggable 28 (SFP28) ports, each capable of supporting 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE) speeds. The SFP28 interface allows for flexible use of transceivers and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, enabling high-density and high-speed network connections essential for modern data centers and enterprise environments. This network adapter is designed to be installed in servers via a PCIe Gen 3.0 x16 slot, providing the necessary bandwidth to support the demanding throughput of 25GbE connections. The Broadcom BCM57414 controller is known for its advanced features, including support for technologies like RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), which can significantly reduce CPU overhead and latency for storage and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. It also typically supports features like TCP/UDP/IP checksum offloading and large send offload to further enhance network performance. The Dell 04RN58 is an ideal choice for servers that require high-speed connectivity for applications such as storage area networks (SANs), high-frequency trading, big data analytics, and virtualization environments. Its dual-port design offers redundancy and increased bandwidth aggregation capabilities, ensuring reliable and efficient data transfer for mission-critical applications.
