CEACENT AN8710-F2 OCP3 is a dual port 10 Gigabit fiber server adapter independently developed by Xi Microelectronics based on the Intel X710BM2 main control scheme and the OCP 3.0 protocol specification. This server adapter card is designed for server and high-end open computing projects (OCP) to participate in optimizing rack equipment. It has 2 completely independent SFP+fiber ports, providing unparalleled features for server and network virtualization to meet the needs of the next generation of data centers, helping to promote more efficient server design and practice, handling specific and challenging workloads.
This adapter card has a flexible dual port 10GbE connection rate on a PCI Express v3.0 x8 slot, making it easy to use in environments with multiple network deployment requirements. This adapter card is mainly designed for servers and high-end devices, so that system I/O is no longer a bottleneck for high-end network applications. At the same time, this adapter card can bundle and aggregate multiple ports simultaneously to achieve fault tolerance and redundancy to ensure network performance or expand network bandwidth. It can detect and route communication from faulty ports to other members in the same group in real-time to achieve uninterrupted high-performance communication. In addition to having stateless uninstallation, this adapter card can also distribute network traffic to the CPU core, improving network throughput; At the same time, uninstall LSO and GSO from the host software to reduce CPU overhead. Release CPU resources to process other applications. This blade server mezzanine adapter card is an ideal solution for deploying multiple networks and deploying critical network applications and environments on high-performance blade servers.
This adapter card can bundle and aggregate multiple/single ports simultaneously to achieve fault tolerance and redundancy, expand network bandwidth and ensure network performance. It can automatically detect and route communication from faulty ports to other members in the same group to continue running, achieving uninterrupted high-performance communication. By offloading data sorting loads from virtual machine monitors (VMMs) to network controllers, performance can be significantly improved and CPU usage can be reduced. The latest enhancement features include offloading virtual machine exchange within servers Virtual Machine Direct Connection (VMDc) paired with virtual machines can achieve almost maximum performance output.
