SPS-PCA OCP3 2p 100G QSFP28 E810 Opn

For data centers demanding extreme throughput and low latency, this OCP 3.0 network adapter delivers dual 100GbE ports via QSFP28, powered by the Intel Ethernet Controller E810-CQDA2. It accelerates virtualization, storage, and high-performance computing with hardware offloads and advanced features.

Advantages

The adapter’s PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface doubles bandwidth over previous generations, eliminating bottlenecks for data-intensive workloads. Support for RDMA (RoCEv2 and iWARP) and NVMe-oF enables direct memory access and efficient storage access, reducing CPU overhead. SR-IOV and VMDq allow partitioning of the adapter into multiple virtual functions, optimizing VM density and performance. Comprehensive offloads for VXLAN, NVGRE, and Geneve enhance overlay network efficiency.

Suitable for

• High-frequency trading and financial services requiring ultra-low latency
