Improve application efficiency and network performance with innovative and versatile capabilities that optimize server workloads such as Network Functions Virtualizations (NFV), storage, HPC-AI and hybrid cloud.
The OCP NIC 3.0 specification defines a standardized design for a new generation of network adapters. Simple and straightforward form factors, clear manageability requirements, and improved serviceability help simplify deployment for current and emerging capabilities.
Delivers the bandwidth and increased application throughput required for demanding cloud workloads including edge services, web servers, database applications, caching servers, and storage targets. Application Device Queues (ADQ) improves application response time predictability using advanced traffic-steering technology. Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) enhances packet classification capabilities, to deliver up to 3x throughput improvement for some cloud workloads. Supports both RDMA iWARP and RoCEv2 for high-speed, low-latency connectivity to storage targets.
Provides packet classification and sorting optimizations for high-bandwidth network and communications workloads, including mobile core, 5G RAN, and network appliances. Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) supports existing and new communications-specific protocols improving packet-processing efficiency up to 3x for some NFV workloads. IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) v2 support enables precise clock synchronization across the 5G RAN deployments. Enhanced Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) support increases packet-processing speeds.
E810-CQDA2 adapters for OCP 3.0 support a wide range of system configurations to meet customer needs and workload requirements. The many port and speed combinations available simplify validation and deployment.
