Network adapter BROADCOM BCM957414A4142CC internal PCI Express, wired, 25000 Mbit/s

The Broadcom Assy Top BCM957414A4142CC is a high-performance network adapter built on Broadcom’s scalable 10/25/50/100G NetXtreme‑E controller architecture. Designed for cloud and enterprise servers, this PCIe network card delivers wired connectivity with up to 25,000 Mbit/s throughput and supports advanced offload and tunneling features for optimized data-center networking.

Advantages

The NetXtreme‑E design provides advanced flow processing and hardware offloads that reduce CPU utilization and increase throughput for virtualized environments. On-chip processing for Geneve, VXLAN and NVGRE tunneling improves throughput up to 5× compared with software-only approaches and lowers CPU load by up to 90%. TruFlow technology enhances VM density by up to 50%, allowing more virtual machines per host while preserving CPU cycles for workloads. The adapter also supports RoCE, SDN and NFV features to enable scalable, feature-rich networking solutions for enterprise, cloud and telco deployments.

Suitable for

• Cloud servers and hypervisor hosts requiring high throughput
• Data-center applications using VXLAN/Geneve/NVGRE overlays
• Virtualized environments where CPU offload and increased VM density are needed
• Enterprise and telco networks deploying RoCE, SDN or NFV
