About the Broadcom Emulex OCe14104 Quad-Port 25GbE OCP NIC
L2/L3 switching, BGP/OSPF routing, and overlay networks using VXLAN/EVPN determine your data center fabric role—and the Broadcom Emulex OCe14104-N25KR is engineered to anchor high-performance server-to-network connectivity in that architecture. This quad-port 25GbE OCP NIC delivers 100Gbps aggregate throughput across four SFP28 ports, each running at 25GbE per port, making it ideal for enterprises consolidating storage and compute I/O onto a single unified network card. The OCe14104-N25KR connects via PCIe Gen 3 x16 (through the OCP connector) and complies with OCP Mezzanine 3.0 form factor specifications, ensuring seamless integration into modern OCP-compatible servers and appliances. Broadcom's hardware offload engine handles TCP/IP, UDP, iSCSI, FCoE, NVMe-oF, VXLAN, and NVGRE at line rate, reducing CPU overhead and latency in mission-critical workloads.
Storage architects, network engineers, and IT infrastructure teams deploy this adapter to eliminate I/O bottlenecks in hyperscale and enterprise data centers. The card supports RoCE v2 for RDMA workloads, iSCSI and FCoE for block storage, and NVMe-oF for flash acceleration—critical protocols in modern converged infrastructures. SR-IOV enables up to 512 virtual functions per port, allowing dense virtualization on Broadcom-certified platforms. Data center bridging features (IEEE 802.1Qbb and 802.1Qaz) plus Priority Flow Control ensure lossless Ethernet for storage traffic, while jumbo frames up to 9KB MTU maximize throughput efficiency. The card operates across RHEL, SLES, Windows Server, and VMware ESXi environments, covering the broadest OS compatibility in the OCP ecosystem.
Built for 0°C to 55°C operating ranges, the OCe14104-N25KR (Broadcom part number OCe14104-N25KR) delivers enterprise-grade reliability. Contact Omnixon Global to request a quotation and technical consultation for your next-generation data center network upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions about Broadcom Emulex OCe14104 Quad-Port 25GbE OCP NIC
Does the Broadcom Emulex OCe14104 Quad-Port 25GbE OCP NIC support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
