Intel X710-DA4 PCI-e network adaptar card to ethernet

Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-DA4 | Quad-Port 10GbE SFP+

Elevate your data center and enterprise network infrastructure with the Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710-DA4. This high-performance PCIe adapter is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of agile and software-defined data centers. By delivering quad-port 10GbE connectivity, this network card provides the exceptional throughput and reliability required for server and storage virtualization, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud environments. It is a cornerstone for building a scalable and flexible network, offering a seamless upgrade path for servers and appliances transitioning to 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. These Ethernet Adapters are optimized to handle the immense traffic loads of modern applications, ensuring your network is a powerful asset, not a bottleneck.

Key Benefits

Experience a dramatic acceleration in network performance. The X710-DA4 is designed for multi-core processors, efficiently balancing network loads across multiple CPU cores to maximize server processing power. This intelligent load balancing, combined with robust stateless offloads, frees up valuable CPU cycles for application processing, significantly improving overall server efficiency and performance.

Unleash superior I/O performance in virtualized environments. With Intel® Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c), this adapter offers a suite of hardware assists that reduce I/O bottlenecks. Features like SR-IOV and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) deliver near-native performance and predictable quality of service (QoS) for virtual machines, making it the ideal choice for high-density virtualization and cloud deployments.

Achieve ultra-low latency for demanding workloads. The adapter supports both iWARP and RoCEv2 protocols for Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). This technology allows for direct memory-to-memory data transfers between servers, bypassing the CPU and OS kernel. The result is a significant reduction in latency and CPU overhead, which is critical for storage solutions like iSCSI and FCoE, as well as HPC cluster applications.
