Cavium FastLinQ QL41232HOCU-CI-BK - Network Adapter - PCIe X8 - 25 Gigabit SFP28 X 2 - For UCS C125 M5, C4200 Rack Server Chassis - UCSC-OCP-QD25GF=

• Accelerate any network with universal RDMA offload
  The Cavium QL41232HOCU-CI 25/10GbE Adapter has the unique capability to deliver Universal RDMA that enables RoCE, RoCEv2, and iWARP. Cavium Universal RDMA and emerging low-latency I/O bus mechanisms such as Network File System over RDMA (NFSoRDMA), and NVMe Express (NVMe) over Fabric (NVMe-oF) allow customers to accelerate access to data. Cavium's advanced offloading technology increases cluster efficiency and scalability to many thousands of nodes.
• Wire-speed network virtualization
  Enterprise-class data centers can be scaled using overlay networks to carry VM traffic over a logical tunnel using NVGRE, VXLAN, and GENEVE. Although overlay networks can resolve virtual local area network (VLAN) limitations, native stateless offloading engines are bypassed, which places a higher load on the system's CPU. The Cavium QL41232HOCU-CI 25/10GbE Adapter efficiently handles this load with advanced NVGRE, VXLAN, and GENEVE stateless offload engines that access the overlay protocol headers. This access enables traditional stateless offloads of encapsulated traffic with native-level performance in the network. Additionally, the Cavium QL41232HOCU-CI 25GbE Adapter supports VMware NSX and Open vSwitch (OVS).
• Hyper-scale orchestration with OpenStack
  The Cavium QL41232HOCU-CI 25/10GbE Adapter supports the OpenStack open source infrastructure for constructing and supervising public, private, and hybrid cloud computing platforms. These platforms allow providers to rapidly and horizontally scale VMs over their entire, diverse, and widely spread network architecture to meet the real-time needs of their customers. Cavium's integrated, multiprotocol management utility, QConvergeConsole (QCC), provides breakthrough features that allow customers to visualize the OpenStack-orchestrated data center using autodiscovery technology.
• Accelerate Telco network function virtualization (NFV) workloads
  In addition to OpenStack, the Cavium QL41232HOCU-CI 25/10GbE Adapter supports NFV that allows decoupling of network functions and services from dedicated hardware (such as routers, firewalls, and load balancers) into hosted VMs. NFV enables network administrators to flexibly create network functions and services as they need them, reducing capital expenditure and operating expenses, and enhancing business and network services agility. Cavium's 25GbE technology is integrated into the DPDK and can deliver up to 36 million packets per second to host the most demanding NFV workloads.
• Trusted, secure, reliable, and interoperable
  The QL41232HOCU-CI 25/10GbE Adapter adheres to standards that ensure interoperability with a wide range of network solutions. In addition, Cavium's technology provides an easy upgrade path to 100GbE networks that utilize multiple 25GbE lanes. Cavium adapters are secure by design. Through public and private key encryption technology, the adapter enforces a process for secure firmware updates that prevents hackers from altering the code running on the adapter.

Cavium offers a dual-port 25/10GbE OCP Intelligent Ethernet Adapter with Universal RDMA offloads for Open Compute Project (OCP) servers. The dual-port QL41232HOCU-CI adapter provides high level of performance, efficiency, and scalability for Open Compute server and storage applications in Web 2.0, enterprise data centers, and cloud infrastructure. For more effective use of the bandwidth, the FastLinQ Intelligent Ethernet Adapter from Cavium offers switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR), which enables segmentation of each 25/10GbE port into four virtual ports, with flexible allocation of bandwidth to each port. The segmentation allows IT organizations to improve resource utilization while lowering infrastructure and operational costs.
Virtualization, cloud computing, high-performance computing, convergence, and clustering initiatives are increasing workload demands. Cavium's advanced server and network virtualization features - Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE), Genetic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), and Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) tunneling offloads - deliver this advanced 25/10GbE adapter. The FastLinQ QL41232HOCU-CI Intelligent Ethernet Adapter is the solution of choice for workload-intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, high-performance 25/10GbE connectivity solution.
