Intel X710-DA4 PCI-E Expansion Card

INTEL X710-DA4 PCI-E Expansion Card | Quad-Port 10GbE SFP+ Connectivity

Elevate your data center and enterprise network infrastructure with the Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-DA4. Designed for the next generation of agile data centers, this high-performance PCIe expansion card delivers exceptional speed, scalability, and flexibility to handle the most demanding workloads. By providing quad-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the X710-DA4 is engineered to eliminate I/O bottlenecks in virtualized servers, cloud deployments, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

Experience a dramatic boost in network throughput and a significant reduction in latency. This adapter is optimized for multi-core processors, ensuring that network traffic is efficiently distributed across multiple CPU cores. This load-balancing capability is critical for achieving line-rate performance and supporting a high density of virtual machines (VMs) per server, maximizing your hardware investment and operational efficiency.

The X710-DA4 is a cornerstone for modern, software-defined infrastructures. It offers advanced virtualization features that offload network processing from the hypervisor, freeing up valuable CPU cycles for applications. Furthermore, its support for unified networking allows for the convergence of LAN and SAN traffic over a single Ethernet fabric. This simplifies cabling, reduces adapter and switch port counts, and lowers overall power consumption and cooling costs. The adapter’s intelligent offloads for protocols enhance performance for network-based Data storage solutions, including iSCSI, FCoE, and NFS, making it an ideal choice for connecting servers to storage area networks (SANs).
