| Intel® 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller |
- Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 gigabit performance and multi-core processors
|
| Low-profile |
- Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers
|
| Load balancing on multiple CPUs |
- Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*
|
| Intel® QuickData Technology1 |
- DMA Engine: Enhances data acceleration across the platform (network, chipset, processor), thereby lowering CPU utilization
- Direct Cache Access (DCA): Allows the processor to pre-fetch the data from memory, thereby avoiding cache misses and improving service level agreements (SLA) of the applications
|
| iSCSI remote boot support |
- Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than competing iSCSI solutions
|
| MSI-X support |
- Minimizes the overhead of interrupts
- Allows load balancing of interrupt handling between different cores/CPUs
|
| Virtual Machine Device queues (VMDq) |
- Allows the efficient routing of packets to the correct target machine in a virtualized environment using multiple hardware queues
- Ensures transmit fairness and prevents head-of-line blocking
|
| Low latency |
- Ability to toggle between the interrupt aggregation and non-aggregation mode based on the type of data being transferred
|
| Optimized queues: 32 transmit (Tx) and 64 receive(Rx) per port |
- Enhances network performance and reduces CPU utilization in the virtualized environment
- Reduces I/O overhead on the hypervisor in a virtualized server by performing data sorting and coalescing in the network silicon
|
| Network packet handling without waiting or buffer overflow |
- Efficient packet prioritization
|
| Support for most network operating systems (NOS) |
- Enables widespread deployment
|
| Compatible with x8 and x16 standard and low-profile PCI Express* slots |
- Allows each PCI Express* slot port to operate without interfering with the other
|
| Remote management support |
- Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards
|
| RJ-45 connections over category-6A cabling |
- Ensures compatibility with cable lengths up to 100 meters
|
| RoHS-compliant,1 lead-free2 technology |
- Compliant with the European Union directive (effective as of July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials
|
| Intel® PROSet Utility for Microsoft Windows* Device Manager |
- Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) configuration
|
| Intel backing |
- Backed by an Intel limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support
