Product Description
The Dell 542-BBCK is a high-performance network interface card specifically designed as a daughter card for Dell blade server chassis. Leveraging the robust Intel X520 controller, this card delivers two ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, providing the high bandwidth and low latency required for today's most demanding data center applications. The KX4 connector ensures seamless integration with compatible Dell blade server systems, allowing for efficient deployment in dense computing environments. This network daughter card is engineered to accelerate network performance for data-intensive workloads such as high-performance computing (HPC), storage area networks (SANs), and virtualization. The Intel X520 controller offers advanced features like TCP/UDP/IP checksum and TCP segmentation offload capabilities, which reduce CPU overhead and improve overall system efficiency. This allows the server's processor to focus on application tasks rather than network processing, leading to better application performance. With its dual 10Gb/s ports, the 542-BBCK enables high-speed data transfers and provides options for network redundancy or link aggregation, enhancing both performance and reliability. Its design as a daughter card optimizes space within the blade chassis, a critical factor in high-density data center deployments. This card is an essential component for organizations looking to maximize the network throughput and responsiveness of their Dell blade server infrastructure.
