The LX2160A addresses a variety of storage segments, such as disaggregated cloud storage, software defined storage, storage controllers, and converged infrastructure (compute-storage-networking). It delivers the right combination of compute and data accelerators for features like erasure coding, de-duplication, compression and encryption, as well as integrated multiple 10 G/25 G/40 G/50 G/100 G Ethernet with DCB for lossless storage traffic. With additional features like dual-mode (EP/RC) capabilities, up to 24 lanes of Gen4 PCI express, dual x8 Gen4 SR-IOV ports with 256 VFs each, and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) support, LX2160A is an ideal chip for current and next generation storage solutions. The software enablement on the LX2160A ensures seamless integration into OpenStack environments with support for Cinder and Swift.
