QNAP Introduces New Dual-port 10GbE SFP+ Network Cards Supporting SR-IOV and RDMA
Boost data transfer/backup and virtualization application efficiency
Taipei, Taiwan, May 16, 2025 – QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking and storage solution innovator, today launched the new QXG-10G2SF-NXE 10GbE SFP+ network expansion card. Equipped with the advanced Broadcom 57412 Ethernet Controller, this PCIe Gen 3 card can be installed into a QNAP NAS (including the TS-x64 and TS-x64U series) or Windows®/Linux® PC and servers, instantly augmenting connectivity with two high-speed 10GbE ports.
The QXG-10G2SF-NXE comes with two 10GbE SFP+ (10G/1G) network ports. Users can utilize SMB Multichannel or Port Trunking to combine bandwidth, providing up to 20Gbps of data transfer potential, thereby accelerating large file sharing and intensive data transmission. The QXG-10G2SF-NXE supports RDMA to enhance data transfer efficiency and reduce latency, while also supporting SR-IOV that enhances network resource allocation for VMware® virtualization applications, reducing network bandwidth consumption and significantly lowering CPU usage for virtual machine servers (hypervisors).
QNAP offers a comprehensive range of 10GbE solutions, with the QXG-10G2SF-NXE network expansion card compatible with various QNAP 10GbE NAS and switches. This cost-effective solution creates a smooth, secure, and scalable high-speed network environment, catering to the needs of teams requiring simultaneous data access, photographers/videographers in need of fast file transfers, and virtualization applications that require low latency.
Before using the QXG-10G2SF-NXE in a computer/server, users must install Windows/Linux drivers from the official Broadcom website.
