Marvell FastLinQ 45000 Series Ethernet NICs

Quad-port, dual-port, and single-port 100/50/40/25/10 GbE converged network adapters

Marvell FastLinQ 45000 Series
Ethernet NICs

The Marvell^® FastLinQ^® 45000 Series Ethernet Adapters (previously known as QLogic) include Universal RDMA, server virtualization with NIC partitioning (NPAR) and single root IO virtualization (SR-IOV), network tunneling with stateless offload for Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE), Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) and Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE).

Key Features

Scalable networks with 2.5X bandwidth for 25GbE when compared to 10GbE and more than 2X port density when compared to 40GbE
Optimum server performance with PCI Express^® (PCIe^®) Gen3 x8 (25GbE) and x16 (40GbE and 100GbE)
Low latency and high throughput with multi-protocol RDMA with support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), RoCE v2 and Internet wide area RDMA protocol (iWARP)
Adaptive link controls for seamless zero-touch interoperability with industry wide 10/25/100GbE switches and cables using FastLinQ SmartAN™ technology
Enhanced CPU efficiency for network tunneling with stateless offloads for VXLAN, NVGRE, GRE, and GENEVE
Advanced server virtualization features such as NPAR and SR-IOV
High-performance network storage with iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER), Non-Volatile Memory Express over Fabric (NVMe-oF), Network File System over RDMA (NFSoRDMA), Server Message Block over RDMA (SMB Direct), Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), and VMware para-virtualized RDMA (pvRDMA)
Simplified deployment, troubleshooting and lifecycle management using the QConvergeConsole^® (QCC) GUI, QCC PowerKit, QLogic^® Control Suite (QCS) CLI, vCenter GUI/ESXCLI Plug-ins, and OpenStack integration
Enhanced management interface with Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) over PCIe support
Network boot support for PreBoot Execution Environment (PXE) 2.0, iSCSI remote boot and UEFI boot
