FC EC2U is a full-height adapter which provides two 25Gb SFP28 ports. The adapter supports both the Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) function and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). Using RoCE, the adapter can support significantly greater bandwidth with low latency. It also minimizes CPU overhead by more efficiently using memory access. This offloads the CPU from I/O networking tasks, improving performance and scalability.
