Based on Broadcom's scalable 10/25/50/100G Ethernet controller architecture, NetXtreme E Series standard PCIe Networking Interface Cards (NICs) can be used to build highly-scalable, feature-rich RoCE networking solutions in servers for enterprise and cloud-scale applications.
NetXtreme E Series addresses the performance and service demands of mega-scale data center networks for high throughput and advanced flow processing. Features such as TruFlow increase VM density, freeing more CPU cycles for additional virtual machines. On-chip tunneling protocol processing for Geneve, VXLAN, and NVGRE provides excellent throughput increase while lowering CPU utilization. NetXtreme E Series controllers also support advanced networking technologies such as RoCE, SDN and NFV, to facilitate the management of data networks and to enable service provider solutions.
