This isn't a commodity 10GbE NIC. The 01FT759 supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) — the same zero-copy, kernel-bypass technology used in HPC clusters.
What RoCE does:
- Bypasses the CPU — Network adapter writes directly to remote server memory
- Ultra-low latency — Critical for database cluster heartbeats and lock managers
- Frees POWER9 cores — Stop wasting expensive licensed cores on TCP/IP stack processing
Ideal for:
- IBM Db2 pureScale clusters
- Oracle RAC on Power
- High-frequency trading / real-time analytics
- Any workload where network latency = lost money
🔌 FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY
The SFP+ ports accept:
MediaUse Case10Gb SR Optics (OM3/OM4 fiber)Runs up to 300m for cross-datacenter linksDAC Twinax Cable (1m/3m/5m)Cheap, low-power, ideal for Top-of-Rack switching
DAC cables are $10-20 on . If your switch is in the same rack, skip the expensive transceivers.
