Broadcom NT BCM957504-P425G P425G - 4 x 25 10GbE PCIe NIC Brown Box

Based on Broad coms scalable 10/25/50/100/200G Ethernet controller architecture¸ the Net Xtreme-E Series P425G 4x25G PCIe NIC is designed to build highly-scalable¸ feature-rich networking solutions in servers for enterprise and cloud-scale networking and storage applications¸ including high-performance computing¸ telco¸ machine learning¸ storage disaggregation¸ and data analytics. 

The P425G 4x25G PCIe NIC builds upon the success of the widely-deployed Net Xtreme E-Series architecture by combining a high-bandwidth Ethernet controller with a unique set of highly-optimized hardware acceleration engines to enhance network performance and improve server efficiency.

Driven by the growing need for higher server bandwidth and storage capacity to support new and emerging applications¸ enterprises¸ telcos and cloud providers are modernizing their data centers by adopting latest networking technologies¸ such as server virtualization and NVMe-oF. The resulting expansion in data volumes increases server-to-server traffic and CPU loads for networking tasks.

With its market-leading hardware acceleration technologies¸ the Net Xtreme-E Series P425G 4x25G PCIe NIC addresses these performance and service demands of mega-scale data center networks with high throughput and advanced flow processing. Features such as TruFlow increase VM density up to 50 percent¸ freeing more CPU cycles for additional virtual machines. On-chip tunneling protocol processing for Geneve¸ VXLAN¸ and NVGRE provides up to a 5X throughput increase while lowering CPU utilization up to 90 percent compared to software-only solutions. Net Xtreme-E Series solutions also support advanced networking technologies such as RoCE¸ SDN and NFV¸ to facilitate the management of data networks and to enable service provider solutions.
