See Greater Return on Investment

The Flex System CN4058S 8-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter and CN4052 2-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter are part of the VFA5 family of System x and Flex System adapters. These adapter supports up to four virtual NIC (vNIC) devices per port (for a total of 32 for the CN4058S and 8 for the CN4052), where each physical 10 GbE port can be divided into 4 virtual ports with flexible bandwidth allocation. These adapters also feature RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) capability, and support iSCSI, and FCoE protocols with the addition of a Features on Demand (FoD) license upgrade.

With hardware protocol offloads for TCP/IP and FCoE, the CN4058S and CN4052 provides maximum bandwidth with minimum use of CPU resources and enables more VMs per server, which provides greater cost saving to optimize return on investment. With up to eight ports, the CN4058S in particular makes full use of the capabilities of all supported Ethernet switches in the Flex System portfolio.

Flex System CN4058S 8-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter

Provides advanced features that improve performance and reduce complexity and costs.

Cost-efficient Bandwidth

  • Multi-protocol support for 10 GbE
  • Virtual NIC emulation
  • Full hardware storage offloads
  • Power savings
  • Lenovo Features on Demand (FoD)
  • Emulex Virtual Network Acceleration (VNeX) technology support
  • Advanced RDMA capabilities
  • Deploy faster and manage less when Virtual Fabric adapters (VFAs) and Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are combined that are developed by Emulex

Did You Know?

This CN4058S is based on industry-standard PCIe 3.0 architecture and offers the flexibility to operate as a Virtual NIC Fabric Adapter or as an 8-port 10 Gb or 1 Gb Ethernet device. Because this adapter supports up to 32 virtual NICs on a single adapter, you see virtualization-related benefits, such as cost, power and cooling, and data center footprint by deploying less hardware. Servers, such as the new x240 M5 Compute Node, support up to two of these adapters for a total of 64 virtual NICs per system.
