MCX512A-ACAT Ethernet network interface card provides two ports of 25GbE connectivity, 750ns latency, up to 75 million messages per second (Mpps). For storage workloads, the 25 Gigabit Ethernet adapter card delivers a range of innovative accelerations, such as Signature Handover (T10-DIF) in hardware, an embedded PCIe Switch, and NVMe over Fabric target offloads to reduce CPU resource consumption and drive extremely high packet rates and throughput. This boosts data center infrastructure efficiency and provides the highest performance and most flexible solution for Web 2.0, Cloud, Data Analytics and Storage platforms.
