PCI Express XL710 Single QSFP+ 40GbE Ethernet Server NIC-SUNWEIT

Industry-leading, energy-efficient design

For 10/40GbE performance and multi-core processors.

Overview

The Intel® Ethernet Controller XL710 offers both Single-port 40GbE, and is backwards compatible to 10GbE.

The XL710 is part of the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series, 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.

Feature:

• Supports 1 x 40GbE configurations

• PCI Express* (PCIe) v3.0, X8

• Exceptional low-power controllers

• Network Virtualization offloads including VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS, and VXLAN-GPE with NetworkService Headers (NSH)

• Intel® Ethernet Flow Director for hardware based application traffic steering

• Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) enables increased packet processing efficiency for NFV and Cloud deployments

• Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) optimized for efficient packet processing

• Excellent small packet performance for network appliances and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)

• Intelligent offloads to enable high performance on servers with Intel® Xeon® processors

• I/O virtualization innovations for maximum performance in a virtualized server
