10 gigabit BASE-T Ethernet server adapters designed for multi-core processors and optimized for virtualization
This 10 gigabit AT Ethernet server adapter showcases Intel's first-generation standards-based 10BASE-T adapter in a low-profile PCI Express form factor. It provides bandwidth intensive applications highly affordable 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network performance with cost-effective RJ-45 connections for distances up to 100 meters. High-speed server connectivity - once reserved for costly, proprietary technologies such as High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters and grid-based computing - can now be achieved with the standardized connectivity of the Intel® 10 Gigabit AT Server Adapter. Intel's adapter also provides 1000BASE-T support for gigabit connections to legacy switches.

Intel® 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 gigabit performance and multi-core processors

Low-profile
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers

Load balancing on multiple CPUs
Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux

Intel® I/OAT
Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead

iSCSI remote boot support
Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than competing iSCSI solutions

MSI-X support
Minimizes the overhead of interrupts
Allows load balancing of interrupt handling between different cores/CPUs

Virtual Machine Device queues (VMDq)
Allows the efficient routing of packets to the correct target machine in a virtualized environment using multiple hardware queues
Ensures transmit fairness and prevents head-of-line blocking

Low latency
Ability to toggle between the interrupt aggregation and non-aggregation mode based on the type of data being transferred

Optimized queues: 32 transmit (Tx) and 64 receive(Rx) per port
Enhances network performance and reduces CPU utilization in the virtualized environment
Reduces I/O overhead on the hypervisor in a virtualized server by performing data sorting and coalescing in the network silicon

Network packet handling without waiting or buffer overflow
Efficient packet prioritization

Support for most network operating systems (NOS)
Enables widespread deployment

Compatible with x8 and x16 standard and low-profile PCI Express slots
Allows each PCI Express slot port to operate without interfering with the other

Remote management support
Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards

RJ-45 connections over category-6A cabling
Ensures compatibility with cable lengths up to 100 meters

RoHS-compliant, lead-free technology
Compliant with the European Union directive (effective as of July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials

Intel® PROSet Utility for Microsoft Windows Device Manager
Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) configuration

Intel backing
Backed by an Intel limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support
