Product Description
The Dell XK4C4 is a specialized mezzanine network interface card designed to integrate high-speed networking capabilities into Dell PowerEdge FC430 servers. This card utilizes the CX4 VPI (Virtual Protocol Interconnect) technology, which allows it to support multiple network protocols over a single physical interface, offering flexibility and efficiency in data center environments. Featuring a single QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) port, the XK4C4 is capable of supporting very high bandwidth connections, such as 40GbE or InfiniBand, depending on the QSFP module used and the server's configuration. This makes it suitable for demanding applications like high-performance computing (HPC), storage networking, and high-frequency trading where low latency and high throughput are critical. As a mezzanine card, it is designed to plug directly into a dedicated slot on the server's motherboard, providing a compact and efficient way to add advanced networking features without occupying a standard PCIe slot. The XK4C4 is a key component for expanding the network capabilities of the PowerEdge FC430, enabling it to meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers.
