Marvell® FastLinQ® 41000 Series
●The FastLinQ 41000 Series leverage Marvell’s 15+ years of expertise in Ethernet, providing the highest levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for enterprise data centers.
●For more effective use of the 10/25GbE bandwidth, the 41000 Series offers switch-inde-pendent NIC partitioning (NPAR), which enables segmentation of a single 10/25GbE port into multiple network partitions and dynamic allocation of bandwidth to each port. The segmentation allows IT organizations to optimize resources while lowering infra-structure and operational costs.
●The evolution of data centers—triggered by high-density server virtualization, soft-ware-defined networking (SDN), and multitenant cloud computing platforms—demands a high-performance 10/25GbE solution that boosts CPU efficiency and reduces capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX) of the migration to 10/25GbE. The FastLinQ 41000 Series Adapters are the best choice for workload-inten-sive computing environments, providing reliable, high-performance 10/25GbE connectivity solutions.
