IBM BCM95704CA40 NeXtreme 1000T 2 x Ports PCI-X Low-profile Ethernet Network Interface Card

Product Description

The IBM BCM95704CA40, part of the NeXtreme 1000T family, is a high-performance dual-port Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (NIC) designed for enterprise environments. Featuring a PCI-X interface, this card is optimized for servers and workstations that require robust and reliable network connectivity at speeds of 1Gbps per port. The inclusion of two RJ-45 ports allows for network redundancy, load balancing, or connection to separate networks, enhancing overall network resilience and performance. This NIC is particularly well-suited for systems that utilize the PCI-X bus architecture, offering a cost-effective upgrade path for network capabilities. Its low-profile design ensures compatibility with a wide range of server chassis, including those with limited internal space. The BCM95704CA40 is engineered to deliver consistent throughput and low latency, making it suitable for various network-intensive applications such as file sharing, application serving, and network infrastructure management. As an IBM-branded Broadcom solution, the BCM95704CA40 benefits from the reliability and performance standards associated with both manufacturers. It supports standard networking protocols and drivers, ensuring easy integration into existing IT infrastructures. This dual-port Gigabit Ethernet card provides a solid foundation for network communication, supporting the demands of modern business operations.
