The Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM57712 dualport SFP+ Adapter with TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE), iSCSI and FCoE offload features a robust, standards-based SFP+ adapter in a low-profile PCI Express form factor, combining advanced, multiprotocol offload technologies with standard Ethernet functionality. It enables affordable 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) network performance with optical or direct-attach cable (DAC) connectivity with copper. The BCM957712 adapter is based on Broadcom's complete suite of 10 GbE ASICs, featuring Broadcom's latest-generation, industry-leading dual-port MAC coupled with Broadcom's dual-port transceiver, Broadcom's field-proven driver stack for mainstream operating systems, and Broadcom Advanced Control Suite (BACS) for comprehensive, unified device management.
Increased demand for network and storage connectivity performance is driven by the growth of server virtualization coupled with data storage. The Broadcom family of 10 GbE adapters empowers network and data-intensive applications such as convergence, digital, and social media content, as well as cloud computing to achieve the desired levels of performance and consolidation.
