Intel’s family of Intel Ethernet X520 Server Adapters with SFP+ connectivity are the most flexible and scalable Ethernet adapters for demanding data center environments.
Features
- Intel¨ 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller - Energy-effcient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors
- SFP+ Connectivity - X520 Server Adapters with SFP+ connections support 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR and SFP+ Copper Direct Attach physical media.
- Low-profle - Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profle PCIe slots and servers
- Load balancing on multiple CPUs - Increases performance on multi-processor systems by effciently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux
- iSCSI remote boot support - Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than other iSCSI solutions
- Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Support - Includes FCoE Boot and Data Center Bridging
- Intel PROSet Utility for Windows Device Manager - Provides point-and-click management of individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) confguration
- Time Sync (IEEE 1588, 802.1as) - Enables networked Ethernet equipment to synchronize internal clocks according to a network master clock; endpoint can then acquire an accurate estimate of the master time by compensating for link latency
