Dell 540-BDCH

DELL 540-BDCH Broadcom 57416/5720 Quad Port 10GbE/1GbE rNDCSupercharge your server´s network capabilities with the DELL 540-BDCH Quad-Port Rack Network Daughter Card (rNDC). Engineered for the demanding environments of modern data centers, this powerful connectivity solution provides a significant upgrade in speed, flexibility, and efficiency for your Dell PowerEdge infrastructure. By combining high-speed 10GbE ports with versatile 1GbE ports on a single card, it offers a consolidated and cost-effective path to network modernization, ensuring your server can handle today´s intensive workloads and is prepared for future growth.This expansion card is the ideal choice for businesses looking to eliminate network bottlenecks, accelerate application performance, and optimize their virtualized environments. Whether you are managing large-scale data transfers, supporting a high number of virtual machines, or requiring low-latency access to network-based data storage, the DELL 540-BDCH delivers the raw performance and advanced features necessary for peak operational efficiency.Key Benefits:* Hybrid Speed Architecture: Gain ultimate flexibility with two 10GBASE-T ports for high-demand traffic and two 1GBASE-T ports for management, redundancy, or lower-priority connections. This quad-port design allows for sophisticated network segmentation and traffic management directly from the server.* Accelerated Performance: Unleash the power of 10 Gigabit Ethernet to drastically reduce data transfer times for applications, backups, and access to network data storage systems. This significantly improves user experience and overall system responsiveness, especially in data-heavy tasks.* Optimized for Virtualization: Featuring advanced technologies like NPAR (Network Partitioning), this card allows you to divide a single physical port into multiple virtual partitions. Each partition can be assigned a specific quality of service (QoS), providing granular control and guaranteed bandwidth for critical virtual machines.* Reduced CPU Overhead: By leveraging intelligent offload engines for protocols like TCP/IP and iSCSI, the card takes on network processing tasks that would otherwise consume valuable server CPU cycles. This frees up the processor to focus on running applications, resulting in better overall server performance and efficiency.* Seamless Integration: As a genuine Dell component designed in the rNDC form factor, this card integrates flawlessly into a dedicated motherboard slot on compatible PowerEdge servers. This saves a valuable standard PCIe slot for other expansion cards and ensures certified compatibility and reliability within the Dell ecosystem.Main Features:* Quad-Port Connectivity: Equipped with two (2) 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports and two (2) 1GBASE-T RJ45 ports.* Advanced Broadcom Chipsets: Powered by the industry-leading Broadcom 57416 (10GbE) and 5720 (1GbE) chipsets for reliable, high-throughput performance.* Rack Network Daughter Card (rNDC) Form
