Dell 407-0021 Broadcom 57840S 4 x Ports 10Gb/s Blade Daughter Card

Product Description

The Dell 407-0021 is a specialized network interface card designed as a Blade Daughter Card for Dell blade server environments. It integrates the Broadcom 57840S controller, which provides four high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gb/s) ports. This card is crucial for blade servers that require substantial network bandwidth to support demanding workloads, such as virtualization, storage area networks (SANs), and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The Broadcom 57840S controller is a powerful chip designed for high-density server environments, offering features that enhance network performance and efficiency. The four 10Gb/s ports allow for significant network aggregation, redundancy, and the ability to connect to multiple network segments or high-speed storage devices. This makes it a versatile solution for blade servers acting as core network infrastructure or handling intensive data traffic. As a Blade Daughter Card, this component is designed to slot directly into the blade server chassis, providing a compact and integrated networking solution. This form factor is optimized for the dense computing environment of blade servers, ensuring efficient use of space and power. The Dell 407-0021 is essential for organizations looking to maximize the network capabilities of their Dell blade server infrastructure, enabling faster data transfer and improved application performance.
