Data Sheet
FUJITSU PLAN EP MCX4-LX 25GbE SFP28
Dual-port Dual-rate 10/25Gbit/s PCIe 3.0 Network Interface Card
Ethernet cards enable data exchange between all
the devices connected in a local network (LAN).
A networked IT infrastructure that functions well is of
great signicance when managing and controlling
critical business processes in a company. The wide
range of complex information transported across the
network relies on fast and reliable data processing
by the network cards.
PLAN EP MCX4-LX 25GbE SFP28
The FUJITSU PLAN EP MCX4-LX 25GbE is based on
Mellanox’s ConnectX®-4 Lx EN (Dual port) Network
Interface Card. ConnectX-4 Lx EN Network Controller
with 10/25Gb/s Ethernet connectivity addresses
virtualized infrastructure challenges, delivering
best-in-class and highest performance to various
demanding markets and applications. Providing
true hardware-based I/O isolation with unmatched
scalability and efciency, achieving the most costeffective and exible solution for Web 2.0, Cloud,
data analytics, database, and storage platforms.
25Gb Ethernet (25GbE) enables network bandwidth
to be cost-effectively scaled in support of next-
generation server and storage solutions residing
in Cloud and Web-scale data center environments.
The 25GbE results in a single switch lane connection
similar to existing 10GbE technology—but it delivers
2.5 times greater bandwidth.
provides superior switch port density by requiring
just a single switch lane compared to the 40GbE
with four lanes. FUJITSU PLAN EP MCX4-LX 25GbE
Dual-Port 10/25GbE Network Interface Cards deliver
advanced Ethernet solutions designed for FUJITSU
Server PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST systems with
use cases such as SAP HANA® or Microsoft Storage
Spaces Direct (S2D).
Compared to 40GbE solutions, 25GbE technology
