Lenovo Flex System EN6132 2-port 40Gb Ethernet Adapter

Brand: Lenovo
Model Number: FS-EN6132-2-port-EA

Meet Demands

The Lenovo Flex System EN6131 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Switch in conjunction with the Flex System EN6132 40 GbE Adapter is designed to offer the performance you need to support clustered databases, parallel processing, transactional services and high-performance embedded I/O applications, reducing task completion time and lowering cost per operation. This switch offers 14 40 Gb internal ports and up to 18 external QSFP 40 Gb ports that enables a non-blocking network design. It supports all Layer 2 functions so servers can communicate within the chassis without going to a top-of-rack switch. This feature helps improve performance and latency.

Flex System EN6132 2-port 40Gb Ethernet Adapter

Supports RDMA and RoCE technologies. Helps provide application acceleration and low latency for specialized applications.

Improve User Experience

  • 10 GbE and 40 GbE connectivity to servers and storage
  • Industry-leading throughput performance with low latency
  • Ideal for clients running Ethernet infrastructure in high speed trading, Web 2.0, virtualization, and cloud computing
  • Enables clients to maximize compute usage by removing I/O bottlenecks
  • Improved application productivity and efficiency with support for protocol offload and RDMA over Converged Ethernet
  • Support for industry-standard SR-IO Virtualization technology to deliver VM protection and granular levels of I/O services to applications
  • High availability and high performance for data center networking
  • Software compatibility with standard TCP/UDP/IP and iSCSI stacks
  • Low power, low cost, and high reliability

More Workloads

Clients are also looking for higher utilization of their existing hardware by leveraging virtualization and cloud computing models. As workload density per server increases, it needs to be balanced by appropriate I/O throughput. The 40 Gb solution offered by Flex System can deploy more workloads per server without running into I/O bottlenecks. In case of failures or server maintenance, clients can also move their virtual machines much faster using 40 Gb interconnects within the chassis.

Efficient Computing

This switch and adapter are designed for low latency, high bandwidth, and computing efficiency for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications. With this combination, your organization can achieve efficient computing by offloading from the CPU protocol processing and data movement overhead such as RDMA and Send/Receive semantics allowing more processor power for the application. As clients look for higher performance, power usage has emerged as a key concern in data centers. The Flex System 40 Gb solution offers the highest bandwidth without adding any significant power overhead.
