- 2x 100GbE network connectivity for high availability features eliminating throughput bottlenecks for data-intensive applications
- Industry's best performing and longest-reach 50G PAM-4/25G NRZ SerDes dramatically lowering TCO by reducing cable costs by 50% and doubling port density
- PCIe 4.0 x16 support maximizing the full potential of servers compliant with the PCI Express 4.0 specification, providing seamless interoperability and doubling server throughput while saving PCIe lanes
- Third generation Broadcom TruFlow engine for intelligent flow processing to increase server VM density and accelerate vSwitch processing of traffic flows with data path Acceleration
- RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), allows Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) traffic to be communicated over Converged Ethernet using DCB, GPU Compute over RoCE enables scalable GPU clusters up to hundreds of nodes using Ethernet for HPC, AI, and ML applications
- Broadcom's Smart Congestion Control provides consistent and predictable performance for real world workloads plus scaling for heavily loaded network traffic making it ideal for clients looking for deterministic low latency
