QNAP Launches QXG-100G2SF-BCM Dual-Port 100GbE Network Expansion Card

QNAP Systems, Inc., a recognized leader in computing, networking, and storage solutions, has announced the release of the QXG-100G2SF-BCM, a high-performance dual-port 100GbE network expansion card. Designed to address the growing demands of enterprise IT environments, this new card delivers exceptional throughput and advanced networking features for virtualization, data centers, and I/O-intensive applications.

Unmatched Performance with PCIe Gen 4.0 and 200 Gbps Throughput

The QXG-100G2SF-BCM is equipped with two 100GbE QSFP28 ports and leverages PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 architecture, providing a total bandwidth of up to 200 Gbps. This ultra-high throughput is ideal for organizations managing latency-sensitive operations and large-scale data transfers, ensuring seamless performance even under demanding workloads.

Advanced Offload Technologies for Virtualization and Efficiency

To further enhance network efficiency, the QXG-100G2SF-BCM supports advanced offload technologies such as RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA). These features significantly reduce latency, lower CPU utilization, and improve overall system efficiency, making the card particularly well-suited for VMware and other virtualization platforms.

Additionally, the card offers SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) support, allowing dedicated bandwidth allocation directly from the physical NIC to virtual machines. This capability enhances VM performance while minimizing CPU overhead, enabling more efficient resource utilization in virtualized environments.

Seamless Integration with QNAP’s 100GbE Ecosystem

The QXG-100G2SF-BCM is designed to integrate effortlessly with QNAP’s 100GbE switch, the QSW-M7308R-4X, allowing businesses to build scalable, high-speed IT infrastructures. When paired with QNAP all-flash NAS solutions, the card unlocks the full potential of storage performance, supporting the needs of modern enterprises and data centers.

Availability and Pricing

The QXG-100G2SF-BCM is now available for purchase. In Taiwan, it is listed at NT$40,000, which is approximately US$1,265 including a five percent sales tax.
