Intel I350-T4V2 PCI-E Expansion Card

Intel I350-T4V2 Quad-Port Gigabit PCIe Network Expansion Card

Elevate your server´s network capabilities with the Intel I350-T4V2 PCI-E Expansion Card, a cornerstone of modern connectivity for demanding enterprise and data center environments. As a leading solution in the Components and Connectivity subcategory, this quad-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of virtualized infrastructure and high-throughput applications. It provides the performance, reliability, and advanced features necessary to eliminate I/O bottlenecks and optimize your network performance. This PCIe expansion card is an essential upgrade for servers handling complex workloads, providing a robust pathway for critical data storage and network traffic.

Key Benefits

Unmatched Virtualization Performance: The I350-T4V2 is specifically designed to excel in virtualized environments. Powered by Intel´s Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c), it delivers outstanding I/O performance. Features like Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) offload the data-sorting burden from the hypervisor to the network controller, significantly reducing CPU utilization and increasing throughput. Furthermore, Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) enables the card to be directly assigned to virtual machines, offering near-native performance and maximum I/O scalability.

Superior Throughput and Redundancy: With four 1GbE ports, this adapter offers immense flexibility and bandwidth. Utilize link aggregation (teaming) to combine the ports for up to 4 Gbps of aggregate throughput, perfect for high-traffic servers. This configuration also provides critical fault tolerance; if one port or cable fails, network traffic is automatically rerouted through the remaining active ports, ensuring continuous uptime for mission-critical services.

Optimized Power Efficiency: Built with power-conscious data centers in mind, the Intel I350-T4V2 incorporates Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). This technology reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity, dynamically lowering the card´s energy footprint without compromising performance. This leads to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) through reduced power bills and cooling requirements.

Reliable Data Storage Connectivity: This expansion card is an ideal component for building robust and fast data storage networks. With native support for the iSCSI protocol, it provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for connecting servers to SAN (Storage Area Network) arrays over a standard Ethernet network, ensuring dependable access to centralized storage resources.
