Concurrent 10/25GbE iWARP and RoCE deliver ultimate flexibility to accelerate I/O with CPU offload
SAN JOSE, CA – July 11,
2017 – Today, Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of
semiconductor products that enable secure and intelligent processing for
enterprise and cloud data centers, announced the new FastLinQ® QL41000 Series
of 10/25GbE Ethernet NICs, which are supported on Dell EMC14th Generation
PowerEdge servers. The FastLinQ QL41000 Series are the industry’s only NIC
solution that gives customers the technology choice and investment protection
with support for concurrent RoCE, RoCEv2 and iWARP. The FastLinQ adapters
coupled with new generation PowerEdge servers enable administrators to optimize
their infrastructure costs and increase virtual machine density by leveraging
built-in technologies like SR-IOV and Network Partitioning (NPAR) that deliver
acceleration and quality of service (QoS) for workloads and infrastructure
traffic. Additionally, the FastLinQ adapters provide full network
function virtualization (NFV) with excellent small packet performance and
integration with DPDK and OpenStack, enabling telcos and NFV application
customers to seamlessly deploy, manage and accelerate the most demanding NFV
workloads.
“Enterprise and cloud data centers have differing requirements driven by infrastructure and applications for latency and congestion management, so flexibility of the networking solution is key, said Bob Wheeler, principal analyst at The Linley Group. Cavium FastLinQ 41000 Series family with Universal RDMA effectively addresses these challenges while delivering a flexible and future proof networking solution.
“Cavium FastLinQ 10GbE/25GbE Ethernet NICs, with Universal RDMA are designed to accelerate access to networking and storage while offloading server CPU,” said Rajneesh Gaur, vice president and general manager, Ethernet Adapter Group, at Cavium. “The introduction of Universal RDMA in Dell’s flagship 14G server is a major milestone and provides customers with an innovative solution delivering flexibility in choice of RDMA and cost savings for next generation private, hybrid and telco cloud data centers.”
“Dell EMC 14th generation PowerEdge Servers are delivering a scalable, automated and secure architecture for any workload, from traditional to cloud-native applications and converged platforms,” said Brian Payne, vice president product management and marketing, server solutions division, Dell EMC. “With the unique Universal RDMA capabilities in the FastLinQ QL41000 Series Ethernet NICs in the new PowerEdge servers, customers can transform their infrastructure for modern workloads and cloud initiatives by increasing performance while optimizing infrastructure costs.”
Purpose built to accelerate and simplify data center networking, Cavium FastLinQ Ethernet technology in Dell PowerEdge servers delivers:

Purpose built to accelerate and simplify data center networking, Cavium FastLinQ Ethernet technology in Dell PowerEdge servers delivers:
- Universal
RDMA –
Industry’s only network adapter that offers customers a choice of RDMA
technology and investment protection with concurrent support for RoCE,
RoCEv2 and iWARP.
- Network
Virtualization Offloads – Acceleration for network
virtualization by offloading protocol processing for VxLAN, NVGRE, GRE and
GENEVE, enabling customers to build and scale virtualized networks without
impacting network performance.
- Server
Virtualization –
Optimizes infrastructure costs and increase virtual machine density by
leveraging built-in technologies like SR-IOV and NIC Partitioning (NPAR)
that deliver acceleration and QoS for workloads and infrastructure
traffic.
- Network
Function Virtualization (NFV) – Enables telco and NFV
application vendors to seamlessly deploy, manage and accelerate the most
demanding NFV workloads by delivering leading small packet performance and
integration with DPDK and OpenStack.
- Storage
Acceleration: Full
protocol offload for iSCSI and FCoE delivers up to 3M IOPS while consuming
the fewest server CPU cycles, leaving headroom for virtual applications
and enabling higher ROI on server investments.
