Add-on Card

Intelligent NIC designed to offload and accelerate processing tasks
10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Adapter with
pluggable XFP optical interface
Summary
Supermicro's AOC-NXB-10GXSR is a 10GbE, low profile PCI Express card based on NetXen's NX2031. It is a high performance layer 2 NIC that can support offload of TCP/IP, iSCSI and RDMA protocols, significantly improving throughput of servers, server appliances and storage platforms, while reducing host CPU utilization. This allows overall system performance to scale dramatically.

The AOC-NXB-10GXSR is a highly integrated, fully programmable Intelligent NIC device designed to offload and accelerate processing tasks.
