Product Brief SFN4112F
Solarflare SFN4112F Single-Port 10G Ethernet Enterprise Server Adapter The Solarflare® SFN4112F single-port 10G Ethernet SFP+ enterprise server adapter delivers superior performance as well as the lowest power in the industry. Designed as a very high-performance server adapter, the SFN4112F supports both direct attach copper twin axial patch cords for connections between servers and top-of-rack switches and optical fiber for switch to server connections or longer reach via a patch panel.
LOW-LATENCY APPLICATION ACCELERATION
The SFN4112F delivers the industry’s lowest latency performance and full line-rate throughput on a single 10G port. Using a kernel-based network stack, the SFN4112F provides substantial acceleration to highmessage rate and low latency applications. When combined with Solarflare’s OpenOnload stack, the SFN4112F achieves TCP/UDP application latency of less than 5 microseconds.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ARCHITECTURE
Several key architectural features included in the 10GbE server adapter distinguish it from other solutions: stateless off loads, virtualization support, very-low power consumption, and very low application latency including support for Solarflare’s OpenOnload™ technology. The
scaling and/or CPU core scaling. The SFN4112F supports Direct Guest Access for Citrix XenServer 5.x. The SFN4112F is VMware Ready™ and on the VMware HW Certification List.
SFN4112F supports stateless hardware off-loads and performance enhancing features that provide efficient

the most energy efficient 10GbE server adapter on the market.
SCALABLE, HARDWARE ASSISTED VIRTUALIZATION
The SFN4112F is built from the ground up to support high-performance in virtualized server environments. The adapter’s architecture provides up to 4096 protected interfaces to the host system, enabling virtual machine
