Flareon™ Ultra SFN7122F dual-port 10G Ethernet SFP+ server adapter delivers unmatched

message rates with low latency and jitter over standard Ethernet along with low CPU utilization,

enabling the industry’s best performance and scalability for enterprise data center environments.

Flareon Ultra SFN7122F delivers the industry’s

lowest latency and highest message rates

accelerating applications, such as high 

performance computing, cloud, grid, big

data, storage, Web 2.0, and financial services

in enterprise data center environments. 

Featuring a full set of stateless offloads,

SFN7122F reduces CPU processing loads

for the most demanding network tasks. 

With OpenOnload

®

, SFN7122F bypasses

kernel and networking overheads, providing 

unprecedented performance with seamless 

application compatibility and protocol 

compliance. OpenOnload features binary

compatibility with all standard APIs and 

applications.

Flareon Ultra SFN7122F enables the lowest 

latency networking solutions for electronic/

high frequency trading and other latency-

sensitive applications. The SFN7122F acceler-

ates HPC and Hadoop by providing high

message rate, low latency interconnects for

compute clusters. The SFN7122F’s CPU 

offload along with high performance enables

servers to provide more services to more

users in cloud and grid environments. The

SFN7122F also accelerates database, social

networking, email, and other storage-intensive

applications with high bandwidth and low 

latency for SAN and NAS environments. 

Flareon Ultra SFN7122F supports PCIe 3.0 with

ultra-low latency features such as direct packet

transfer (Tx PIO) mode and the templated send

API. SFN7122 also features hardware accel-

eration to optimize packet delivery, such as UDP

multicast replication, integrated layer 2 switching

capability and VLAN insertion / removal, along

with TCP segmentation offload (TSO) to reduce

CPU load.

With 10x the number of vNICs and virtual PCIe

functions than the competition, SFN7122F

performance scales as the number of CPU

cores and VMs increase, supporting more

applications per physical server. SFN7122F

also supports NetQueue, VMQ, and SR-IOV

used to accelerate guest applications in 

leading hypervisors, such as ESXi, Hyper-V,

KVM, and Xen. This relieves network I/O 

bottlenecks dedicating full network bandwidth

directly to VMs while maintaining full hypervisor

management services. Sixteen physical PCIe

functions enable finer granularity and greater

scalability when allocating Quality of Service

for optimized bandwidth utilization as I/O 

dynamically fluctuates.

Flareon Ultra SFN7122F enables deploying

servers for a wide range of applications with a

single server adapter. SFN7122F with AppFlex™

technology provides the flexibility to selectively

add and control services such as network

monitoring, precision time, security, and 

application acceleration to servers.
