Dell 555-BCKM X710 2-Ports 10Gb/s SFP+ + 2-Ports 1GbE Daughter Card

Product Description

The Dell 555-BCKM network daughter card offers a flexible and powerful connectivity solution by integrating both high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports. It is equipped with two SFP+ ports, capable of supporting 10GbE speeds, which are essential for demanding applications such as high-performance storage, virtualization, and data-intensive workloads. Complementing these are two 1GbE RJ45 ports, providing backward compatibility and the ability to connect to standard network infrastructure, management interfaces, or less bandwidth-intensive devices. This card utilizes Intel's advanced controllers: the X710 for the 10GbE SFP+ ports and the I350 for the 1GbE RJ45 ports. The Intel X710 controller is known for its efficiency, low latency, and support for features like Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which enhances virtual machine performance by allowing direct hardware access. The Intel I350 controller provides reliable and robust Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This combination ensures optimal performance across different network speeds and requirements. Designed for seamless integration into Dell servers and compatible systems via its PCIe interface, the 555-BCKM is an excellent choice for organizations looking to upgrade their network capabilities. It simplifies network design by consolidating multiple network types onto a single adapter, reducing cabling and management overhead. This versatile card is well-suited for data centers, enterprise environments, and any application requiring a blend of high-speed and standard network connectivity.
