Broadcom NetXtreme E-Series P2100G – network adapter – PCIe 4.0 x16 – 100 Gigabit QSFP56 x 2

Based on Broadcom’s scalable 10/25/50/100/200G Ethernet controller architecture, the NetXtreme-E Series P2100G 2x100G 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 P2100G 2x100G PCIe NIC builds upon the success of the widely deployed NetXtreme 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 emerging applications, enterprises, telcos and cloud providers are modernizing their data centers by adopting 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.
