QUAD-PORT GbE NETWORK INTERFACE CARD FOR DELL®
PowerEdge® 12G RACK AND TOWER SERVERS

Overview Features

Broadcom® now offers a quad-port 1Gb Ethernet
(GbE) Network Interface Card (NIC) for Dell®
PowerEdge® 12G rack and tower servers. It lever­ages Broadcom's long-standing industry leadership
in Ethernet, providing the highest levels of perfor­mance, efficiency, and scalability for the enterprise
data center.

Designed for today's enterprise, the Broadcom
5719-based NIC adapter is the ideal solution for
multicore servers, delivering full line-rate through­put across all ports. The adapter utilizes
Broadcom's quad-port BCM5719 integrated
controller to deliver lower power consumption and
Energy Efficient Ethernet™ (EEE), reducing IT
operation costs.

Increasing application workloads are placing
greater demands on enterprise networks, and the
Broadcom 5719-based quad-port 1GbE NIC is the
solution of choice for such environments, providing
a reliable, high-performance, energy-efficient 1GbE
connectivity solution.

Benefits Specifications

• Accelerates Server Performance:
– Boosts network performance with full line-rate perfor-

mance across all ports.

– Maximizes server processing performance by reducing

CPU overhead and lowering interrupt latency through the
use of the MSI-X standard.

– Boosts performance in Windows® and Linux®

environments by directing interrupts to the server's CPU
cores, leveraging Transmit/Receive Side Scaling (TSS/RSS).

• Delivers Advanced Ethernet Capabilities:
– Precision T ime Protocol (PTP)—Provides greater accuracy

of data packet delivery within the network.

– Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)—Reduces adapter power

consumption by up to 42% through intelligent adaptive
power management, adjusting power based on data
traffic load.

• Robust Virtualization Capabilities:
– Superior network performance with support for VMware

NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ technologies.

– Enhances network management and efficiency with

support for VLAN/VLAN tagging.

• Streamlines Deployment and Management:
– Increases deployment flexibility with four GbE

connectivity ports.

– Simplifies deployment and management complexity—

Broadcom Ethernet solutions available across a wide
range of Dell server platforms.

– Unifies the NIC and storage management using Dell iDRAC

and Lifecycle Controller management framework or
Broadcom Advanced Management Suite (BACS).
