Axiom 40Gbs Dual Port QSFP+ PCIe 3.0 x8 NIC Card for Lenovo - 81Y1537
The Axiom Lenovo 40Gigabit Ethernet Card (Part Number: 81Y1537-AX) is a high-performance dual port network adapter designed to meet the demanding needs of servers and high-end computing environments. Built on the Intel XL710AM Ethernet controller, this PCIe 3.0 x8 card delivers up to 40Gbps data transfer rates, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as data center clustering, virtualization, and large-scale storage solutions. Its support for optical fiber cables extends the reach of your network, ensuring reliable long-distance data transmission between servers and network infrastructure. The card includes both full height and half height mounting brackets, providing flexible installation options for various server chassis.
The Axiom 40GbE dual port card features advanced network virtualization offloads, including VXLAN and NVGRE, to optimize virtual machine performance and reduce CPU load. It supports unified networking, allowing LAN and storage traffic—such as NAS (SMB, NFS) and SAN (iSCSI, FCoE)—to traverse a single wire, simplifying network architecture. Virtual bridging support (VEPA/802.1Qbg, BPE/802.1Qbh) enhances network segmentation and security, while up to 8 physical functions per port provide extensive flexibility for complex network configurations. Supporting up to 128 virtual device queues (VMDq) per port, this adapter ensures efficient packet processing and minimizes latency in high-throughput environments.
Designed for easy integration, the card is compatible with a variety of servers and workstations, offering a plug-in form factor that simplifies installation. Its impressive 8000 MB/s bandwidth and support for hardware queue pairs—up to 1,500 for non-RDMA and 256,000 for RDMA—facilitate seamless data flow and reduce bottlenecks. Whether you need a reliable solution for clustering, virtualization, or storage, this Ethernet adapter provides a cost-effective and scalable upgrade to your existing infrastructure. Included with the product are mounting brackets for different server configurations, and the package is backed by a three-year limited warranty, ensuring long-term dependability.
This high-speed network card is optimized for demanding enterprise environments, providing robust performance and advanced features to support modern data centers. Its support for optical fiber cables allows for longer cable runs without signal degradation, making it suitable for large-scale deployments. The card’s compatibility with 40GBase-X technology ensures a maximum data transfer rate of 40Gbps over supported network cables, enabling fast and reliable communication between servers and network devices. Its compact design and comprehensive feature set make it an excellent choice for organizations seeking to enhance their network performance and scalability.
