The ThinkSystem Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T Ethernet Adapters are high-performance 10 Gb Ethernet adapters in either standard PCIe form factor or the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 SFF form factor. They offer TruFlow (tm) intelligent flow processing and support advanced networking technologies including RoCE v1/2, SDN, NFV and virtualization. Did you know? 10GBASE-T is a low-cost way to enter the 10 Gb Ethernet space. By using standard UTP twisted pair cabling, you eliminate the need for transceivers or fiber optic cabling. The OCP 3.0 adapters support the Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) for communication with the server's onboard service processor.
This support enables sharing the network interface with the service processor and the operating system, thereby eliminating the need for a separate management network.
