Following the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in the United States, Baidu held a "Wen Xin Yi Yan" press conference, which triggered a new round of artificial intelligence boom. The rise of this frenzy has further stimulated the high growth in demand for computing power, and promoted the development of data centers towards high technology, high computing power, high energy efficiency, and high security. As one of the basic hardware facilities of the data center, the server has high scalability and easy management to accelerate the construction and development of the data center.

      The stable and easy-to-operate OCP3.0 network card has not only become an important hardware configuration of the server, but also an important standard for the rapid delivery of the whole cabinet. The OCP3.0 network card with its own NCSI function has become a new favorite in the industry.

      Taking LRES3007PF-OCP as an example, this is an OCP3.0 four-port 10G SFP+ Ethernet network adapter with NCSI function independently developed by LR-LINK based on the Intel XL710 master control solution. When the OCP3.0 network card is inserted into the server motherboard, the BMC chip of the server can use the shared network port on the network card chip through NCSI to perform out-of-band management, release CPU resources, and effectively improve CPU utilization.

      It is worth noting that NCSI is an out-of-band management bus protocol based on the physical bus RMII, and defining an NCSI protocol on the basis of the RMII bus can reduce physical pins. Using the OCP3.0 network card with NCSI function, NCSI technology can be used to make the management system and the host system share the host physical network port, and the management operation and business processing can be performed at the same time through one network port, which simplifies networking and optimizes resource utilization. Promote the construction of green and efficient new data centers, and accelerate the realization of the "double carbon" goal.
      LR-LINK COP3.0 network cards conform to the industry’s OCP3.0 design specification (SFF), and are compatible with Huawei superfusion, AMD, Lenovo, Dell, HP and other brand servers.

      Data show that my country's server market will reach US$27.34 billion in 2022 and will increase to US$30.8 billion in 2023. The server accelerates iterative upgrades, and the CPU computing power, operational reliability, data throughput capacity, and management and maintenance performance continue to improve. LR-LINK has gradually listed the NCSI function as the standard function of the OCP3.0 series network card, which can meet the needs of the current and long-term server market for network traffic and data distribution, processing and virtualized big data computing, cloud computing, etc. Help the data center to achieve "four high" development.

      To choose a stable and reliable network card solution, please look for the LR-LINK brand.
