Intel - Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-DA4 - Dual and Quad-port 10GbE adapters with Hardware Optimization and - Black

The Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 addresses the demanding needs of an agile data center by providing unmatched features for both server and network virtualization, flexibility for LAN and SAN networks, and proven, reliable performance. The Intel Ethernet 700 Series Network Adapters. These adapters are the foundation for server connectivity, providing broad interoperability, critical performance optimizations, and increased agility for Communications, Cloud, and Enterprise IT network solutions.

• Interoperability -: Multiple speeds and media types for broad compatibility backed by extensive testing and validation.
• Optimization -: Intelligent offloads and accelerators to unlock network performance in servers with Intel® Xeon® processors.
• Agility -: Both Kernel and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) drivers for scalable packet processing. Intel® Ethernet 700 Series delivers networking performance across a wide range of network port speeds through intelligent offloads, sophisticated packet processing, and quality open source drivers.
• Flexible and Scalable I/O for Virtualized Infrastructures: Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT), delivers outstanding I/O performance in virtualized server environments. I/O bottlenecks are reduced through intelligent offloads, enabling near-native performance and VM scalability. These offloads include Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Flexible Port Partitioning using SR-IOV with a common Virtual Function driver for networking traffic per Virtual Machine (VM). Host-based
• VMDQ for Emulated Path:: VMDQ, enables a hypervisor to represent a single network port as multiple network ports that can be assigned to the individual VMs. Traffic handling is offloaded to the network controller, delivering the benefits of port partitioning with little to no administrative overhead by the IT staff.
