YG4N3 | Dell Intel I350 Dual Port 1GB 1000Base-T PCI-Express Low Profile NIC
- Product SKU: YG4N3
- Category: Dell, Network Adapters
The YG4N3 is a Dell Mellanox ConnectX-5 Dual-Port 25GbE PCIe Network Adapter, designed to provide high-speed, low-latency networking for modern data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. With 25Gb Ethernet (25GbE) connectivity, it offers a significant bandwidth upgrade over traditional 10GbE and 1GbE adapters, making it ideal for applications that require fast and efficient data transmission, such as storage networking, cloud computing, and data-intensive workloads.
Key Features and Specifications:
-
Dual-Port 25GbE Connectivity:
- Two 25GbE ports, each capable of delivering 25 Gbps of bandwidth, which provides higher throughput for demanding applications like large-scale data analytics, cloud services, and real-time data processing.
- The dual-port design enables redundancy and load balancing, which enhances network availability and optimizes performance in critical environments.
-
PCI-Express Interface:
- The PCIe Gen3 x8 interface ensures high-speed data transfer between the network adapter and the server. This enables the adapter to take full advantage of the 25GbE speeds, offering smooth data flow even under heavy workloads.
- PCIe Gen3 supports high-bandwidth applications and ensures that the adapter doesn’t become a bottleneck in the system.
-
Mellanox ConnectX-5 Chipset:
- The ConnectX-5 chipset provides a robust networking solution, supporting RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), and iWARP protocols, enabling low-latency and high-throughput communication between systems.
- Includes support for SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), which improves the efficiency of network resource management in virtualized environments by allowing virtual machines to directly access the network adapter.
-
Low Latency and High Throughput:
- Designed for low-latency networking, making it ideal for applications that require rapid response times, such as real-time analytics, high-performance storage systems, and financial transactions.
- The 25GbE bandwidth ensures high throughput, which is crucial for environments with high data processing and storage requirements.
-
Advanced Networking Features:
- VLAN tagging and Jumbo Frame support to optimize network traffic and improve efficiency in data-intensive environments.
- Quality of Service (QoS) for better traffic prioritization, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth for optimal performance.
-
Energy Efficient:
- The adapter is optimized for energy efficiency while providing high throughput, reducing power consumption compared to older 10GbE or higher-speed adapters.
- Ideal for large-scale deployments where energy cost management is a key concern.
-
Compatibility:
- Compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers and other systems that support PCIe Gen3 interfaces.
- Works with leading operating systems such as Windows Server, Linux, and VMware ESXi, making it versatile for various server environments and applications.
-
Scalability:
- This adapter is well-suited for growing data center and cloud environments that need to scale bandwidth to support increasing data traffic and workloads.
- Provides a clear upgrade path for organizations looking to move to higher bandwidth solutions without completely overhauling their existing infrastructure
