Dell VM90W E810 4-Ports 10/25GbE SFP28 PCIe Adapter

Product Description

The Dell VM90W is a state-of-the-art Network Interface Card (NIC) featuring the Intel E810 chipset, designed to deliver exceptional performance and flexibility for demanding enterprise and data center environments. This adapter boasts four SFP28 ports, capable of operating at either 10GbE or 25GbE speeds, providing a versatile solution that can adapt to evolving network requirements. The dual-speed capability allows organizations to upgrade their network infrastructure incrementally without necessarily replacing the NICs, offering a cost-effective path to higher bandwidth. Equipped with a PCIe Gen4 x16 interface, the VM90W offers a massive aggregate bandwidth of up to 128 Gbps, ensuring that the four 25GbE ports can operate at their full potential without introducing bottlenecks. This high-speed interface is crucial for data-intensive applications, high-performance computing, and dense virtualization deployments. The adapter also incorporates advanced features such as Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which significantly improves virtual machine (VM) performance by allowing direct access to the network adapter's resources, bypassing the hypervisor for lower latency and higher throughput. Further enhancing its capabilities, the Dell VM90W supports sophisticated networking protocols like RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) and iWARP (Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol). These RDMA technologies enable direct memory access between servers, reducing CPU utilization and latency for applications that require high-speed, low-latency communication, such as distributed storage systems, financial trading platforms, and AI/ML workloads. The combination of high port density, flexible speed options, advanced chipset features, and robust RDMA support makes the VM90W a powerful and future-proof networking solution.
