Cisco UCS NIC M51KR-B Broadcom BCM57711 Network Adapter network adapter – 2 ports

The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.

The Cisco UCS NIC M51KR-B Broadcom BCM57711 Network Adapter is a dual-port 10-Gbps KR Ethernet network adapter mezzanine card with an x8 PCI Express (PCIe) host interface. The KR interface and PCIe host interface interconnect on a single mezzanine connector. Designed specifically for the Cisco UCS blades, the adapter combines offload technology with standard Ethernet functions. Together, these features provide the performance and bandwidth critical to I/O-intensive applications such as virtualization and high-performance computing (HPC).
