Broadcom 10G/GbE 2+2P 57800 Quad Port Network Card

Broadcom 57800 (often Dell G8RPD / 0G8RPD) is a quad-port server-grade network adapter that combines two high-speed 10GbE ports with two standard 1GbE ports, delivering versatile network infrastructure for enterprise servers and cloud environments. Built on Broadcom NetXtreme technology, it supports converged networking features including iSCSI, FCoE, SR-IOV, VLAN tagging, load balancing, and switch-independent NIC partitioning for optimized resource allocation. The PCIe x8-based rNDC form factor integrates directly into compatible Dell PowerEdge servers, reducing slot usage while improving bandwidth efficiency. This adapter is ideal for virtualization, software-defined storage, backup networks, and mixed-performance environments requiring both high-speed backbone connectivity and standard network interfaces. Its enterprise reliability, broad OS compatibility, and support for advanced hardware offloads help lower CPU utilization while maintaining stable, scalable performance in demanding server deployments.
