Marvell Fastlinq Ethernet Adapters

FastLinQ 41000 Series Converged Network Adapters

FastLinQ 41000 Series Converged Network Adapters

The Marvell® FastLinQ® 41000 Series Converged Network Adapters are a 10G/25G/40G/50GbE family enabling the most efficient and agile software-defined data centers (SDDNs). Designed for the most demanding server and network virtualized environments, the 41000 series adapters enable Universal RDMA (RoCE and iWARP) as well as NPAR, VXLAN/NVGRE/GENEVE and SR-IOV to boost server CPU efficiency and maximize application performance. This 41000 CNA series also offers concurrent iSCSI and FCoE stateless offload protocols. The 41000 series family includes 25GbE and 10GbE adapters with SFP/SFP28 optical or direct attach copper (DAC) and 10GBASE-T RJ45 connections that support (LAN TCP/IP) traffic at full line-rate speeds.

Key Features

  • Scalable networks with 2.5X bandwidth for 25GbE when compared to 10GbE and more than 2X port density when compared to 40GbE
  • Optimum server performance with PCI Express® (PCIe®) Gen3 x8 (10GbE/25GbE)
  • Low latency and high throughput using Universal RDMA with support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), RoCE v2 and Internet wide area RDMA protocol (iWARP), Concurrent iSCSI and FCoE stateless offload protocols
  • Adaptive link controls for seamless zero-touch interoperability with industry-wide 10/25/100GbE switches and cables using FastLinQ SmartAN™ technology
  • Enhanced CPU efficiency for network tunneling with stateless offloads for VXLAN, NVGRE, GRE, and GENEVE
  • Advanced server virtualization features such as NPAR and SR-IOV
  • High-performance network storage with iSCSI extensions for RDMA (iSER), Non-Volatile Memory Express over Fabric (NVMe-oF), Network File System over RDMA (NFSoRDMA), Server Message Block over RDMA (SMB Direct), Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), Linux Lustre, and VMware para-virtualized RDMA (pvRDMA)
  • Simplified deployment, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management using the QConvergeConsole® (QCC) GUI, QCC PowerKit, QLogic® Control Suite (QCC) CLI, QCC vCenter GUI/ESX CLI Plug-ins, and OpenStack integration
  • Enhanced management interface with Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) over PCIe support
  • Network boot support for PreBoot Execution Environment (PXE) 2.0, iSCSI remote boot, and UEFI boot
