The STLab BCM57508OCP3.0 200GbE card is a one-port 200 Gb/s PCI Express 4.0 x16 network adapter designed to the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 Design Specification in small form factor with one QSFP56 network connectors.
Driven by the growing need for higher server bandwidth and storage capacity to support new and emerging applications, enterprises, telcos and cloud providers are modernizing their data centers by adopting latest networking technologies, such as server virtualization and NVMe-oF?. The resulting expansion in data volumes increases server-to-server traffic and CPU loads for networking tasks.
With its market-leading hardware acceleration technologies, the STLab BCM57508OCP3.0 200GbE adapter addresses these performance and service demands of mega-scale data center networks with high throughput and
advanced flow processing.
Features such as TruFlow? increase VM density up to 50 percent, freeing more CPU cycles for additional virtual machines. On-chip tunneling protocol processing for Geneve, VXLAN, and NVGRE provides up to a 5X throughput increase while lowering CPU utilization up to 90 percent compared to software-only solutions. These solutions also support advanced networking technologies such as RoCE, SDN and NFV, to facilitate the management of data networks and to enable service provider solutions.
