This dual-port 40Gb network interface card (NIC) is optimized on Intel XL710-BM2 controller for server connectivity and network virtualization. By supporting a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, this adapter provides sufficient bandwidth for line rate traffic on dual 40Gb ports.
Improved support for virtualization, including VMDq and SR-IOV, makes the NIC a perfect fit for virtualized environments. It is designed to provide broad interoperability, critical performance optimisations, and increased agility for communications, cloud, and enterprise IT network solutions.
