Supermicro 25/100G Ethernet Modules

“With 2.5 times the bandwidth of 10G, less than half the cost of 40G, and incorporating Remote Direct Memory Access for low latency with backward compatibility with 10G switches, the industry leading 25GbE capability that Supermicro offers our customers provides the highest scalability and potential for future growth,” said Charles Liang, President and CEO of Supermicro. “We believe that 100G, having a clear upgrade path from 25G, is the natural next step in the evolution of modern high-performance converged data center server/storage deployments for our customers as they experience ever higher demands on their data center I/O infrastructures.”

Dual- and Single-port Modules supporting 100Gbps
AOC-SHFI-i1C Omni-Path Standard Card
Designed for HPC, this card uses an advanced “on-load” design that automatically scales fabric performance with rising server core counts, making these adapters ideal for today’s increasingly demanding workloads with 100Gbps link speed, single QSFP28 connector, PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot and standard low-profile form factor.

AOC-MHFI-i1C/M Onboard Omni-Path SIOM Card
Designed specifically for HPC utilizing the Intel OP HFI ASIC, this card offers 100Gbps link speeds for Supermicro servers that support the SIOM interface.

AOC-S100G-m2C Standard Card
This card offers dual-port QSFP+ connectivity in a low-profile, short length standard form factor with PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot. Utilizing the Mellanox ConnectX-4 EN chipset with features such as VXLAN and NVGRE, this card offers network flexibility, high bandwidth with specific hardware offload for I/O virtualization, and efficiently optimizes bandwidth demand from virtualized infrastructure in the data center or cloud deployments.

Quad-, Dual- and Single-port Modules supporting 25Gbps
AOC-S25G-b2S Standard Card
Based on the Broadcom BCM57414 chipset with features such as RDMA, NPAR, VXLAN and NVGRE, it is backward compatible with 10GbE network and the most cost effective upgrade from 10GbE to 25GbE in data center or cloud deployments.

AOC-S25G-m2S Standard Card
