IBM 00E1493 – PCIe2 LP 2-Port 10 GbE RoCE SFP+ Adapter

Detailed Description:

The IBM 00E1493 is a high-performance PCIe 2.0 low-profile, dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) adapter, equipped with SFP+ transceivers, designed to drive networking efficiency and improve network performance. This adapter utilizes the RoCE technology to provide high-throughput, low-latency networking solutions for data centers, enabling efficient RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) capabilities. This allows for faster data transfers between servers and storage systems without overloading the CPU, making it particularly suitable for enterprise cloud computing, high-performance computing (HPC), and storage applications. The 10 GbE connections ensure ample bandwidth for data-heavy operations, while the adapter’s advanced features, such as hardware offloads for packet processing, enhance network performance and reduce processing overhead on the server. With its low-profile form factor, the IBM 00E1493 can fit into a wide variety of server chassis, making it a versatile solution for expanding network capabilities in dense computing environments.
