Dell 540-BDRB X710 2-P 10Gb/s SFP+ PCIe Adapter

Description

The Dell 540-BDRB is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed to equip servers and workstations with dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity. Based on the Intel X710 controller, this adapter provides two SFP+ ports, which are designed to accept SFP+ optical or direct attach copper (DAC) transceivers (sold separately) for establishing 10GbE links. The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface ensures sufficient bandwidth to support the demanding throughput requirements of 10GbE networking, making it suitable for environments where high-speed data transfer is critical. This adapter is engineered to enhance network performance by significantly increasing data transfer rates compared to standard Gigabit Ethernet. It is ideal for applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), data-intensive storage solutions (like NAS or SAN), virtualization environments, and high-traffic server consolidation. The Intel X710 controller supports a range of advanced networking features, including Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) for improved VM performance, Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) for low-latency communication, and various offload engines to reduce CPU utilization. By providing robust and high-speed network connectivity, the Dell 540-BDRB adapter helps to eliminate network bottlenecks and improve overall system efficiency. Its dual-port design offers redundancy and increased bandwidth aggregation capabilities. This network adapter is a crucial component for modern data centers and enterprise networks that require reliable, high-throughput network access to support demanding workloads and applications.
