Dell 100GbE Network Interface Card is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet server adapter using QSFP28 connectors — the standard connector format for 100GbE, distinct from the QSFP+ used by 40GbE. Cards in this class commonly use an Intel E810-series or NVIDIA/Mellanox ConnectX-5/6 chipset, over a PCIe 4.0 x16 host interface — the lane count needed to sustain full dual-port 100GbE line rate (PCIe 3.0 x16 alone isn't enough bandwidth for that).
Typical Use
100GbE is deployed where 40GbE becomes a bottleneck — AI/HPC cluster interconnects, all-flash storage fabric, and datacenter spine-leaf core links. SR-IOV virtualization support and RDMA (RoCEv2/iWARP) make it a fit for latency-sensitive, high-throughput compute and storage workloads. You'll need matching QSFP28 transceivers/DACs and switch ports rated for 100GbE — confirm your switch infrastructure supports it before ordering.
