IBM 2072-ALBE – 25GbE (RoCE) Adapter Cards (Pair)

Detailed Description:

The IBM 2072-ALBE comprises a pair of 25GbE (RoCE) Adapter Cards, engineered to meet the high-speed networking requirements of modern data centers and cloud computing environments. These adapter cards leverage the power of 25 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology, combined with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), to deliver superior network performance, low latency, and high efficiency. RoCE technology enables remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Ethernet networks, allowing for the high-speed transmission of data with minimal CPU usage. This is essential for applications requiring high throughput and low-latency communication, such as high-performance computing (HPC), storage replication, and database transactions. The IBM 2072-ALBE adapter cards are designed with scalability and flexibility in mind, supporting advanced networking features like hardware offloads for network virtualization and quality of service (QoS) to ensure optimal performance in multi-tenant environments. By incorporating these adapter cards into their infrastructure, organizations can significantly boost their network capabilities, preparing them for future growth and data-intensive applications.
