Dell 32C4R Broadcom 57840S 4 x Ports 10GbE SFP+ Network Daughter Card

Product Description

The Dell 32C4R is a high-performance Network Daughter Card (NDC) equipped with the Broadcom BCM57840S controller, designed to deliver robust and scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for compatible Dell server platforms. This card features four SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, allowing for flexible deployment with various 10GbE optical transceivers or direct attach copper cables, catering to diverse network infrastructure requirements. With its quad-port configuration, the 32C4R card is ideal for environments demanding high bandwidth and port density, such as data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise networks. The Broadcom BCM57840S chipset is known for its advanced features, including support for technologies like RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and iWARP, which can significantly offload network processing from the host CPU, thereby improving overall system performance and efficiency. As a Network Daughter Card, the 32C4R is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into proprietary NDC slots found on many Dell server models, ensuring a clean installation and optimal utilization of internal server real estate. This makes it a preferred choice for server administrators looking to upgrade or expand their server's networking capabilities with enterprise-grade performance and reliability.
