Solarflare SFN7122F Flareon Ultra Dual-Port 10GbE PCI-Express 3.0 x8 SFP+ Network Adapter.

Overview

The Flareon Ultra SFN7122F Dual Port 10 GbE PCIe 3.0 Server I/O Adapter from Solarflare is a dual port 10G Ethernet SFP+ (Small Form-Factor) server adapter that delivers low latency and high message rates over standard Ethernet. It also enables low CPU utilization and power consumption, providing performance and scalability for enterprise data center environments. Featuring a set of stateless offloads, the server adapter reduces CPU processing loads for network tasks. With OpenOnload application accelerator, the adapter bypasses kernel and networking overheads, providing performance with seamless application compatibility and protocol compliance. OpenOnload features binary compatibility with all standard APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and applications.
