Product Description
The Broadcom P210P is a dual-port 10GbE PCIe Ethernet network interface card built on the same BCM57412 NetXtreme-E controller as its OCP sibling, designed for standard rackmount and tower servers that use a PCIe expansion slot rather than an OCP 3.0 mezzanine bay. Each of its two SFP+ ports operates at 10GbE over optical or direct-attach copper cabling, connecting to the host over a PCIe 3rd Generation x8 interface, with low-profile and full-height brackets included for flexible chassis fit. The adapter offloads RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) for latency-sensitive storage and clustering traffic, and its TruFlow flow-processing engine accelerates virtual-switch (Open vSwitch) forwarding in hardware. SR-IOV and NIC Partitioning (NPAR) enable secure sharing across virtual machines, a hardware Root-of-Trust anchors secure boot, and TruManage simplifies remote provisioning and monitoring across the data center.
