With more virtual machines running on each multi-core server, networking traffic is dramatically increased – and each VM is competing for available I/O bandwidth. That can lead to bottlenecks in the network.
Intel's family of Ethernet Converged Network Adapters effectively addresses networking bottlenecks in virtualized environments, enabling network-intensive applications to achieve the performance expected in a virtualized environment.
Servers connecting with the latest IntelВ® Ethernet 10 Gigabit Converged Network Adapters provide up to 10x faster performance and the agility to align with business growth, meet customers' needs or expand with your business.
By delivering the same functionality and throughput as ten dual-port, one gigabit adapters, the Intel family of 10 GbE adapters reduces cost and power, as well as complexity.
Speaking of reducing complexity, Intel 10GbE Converged Network Adapters integrate seamlessly into your existing network. The X520 family of SFP+ and FCoE adapters represent the most flexible and scalable Ethernet adapters for today's demanding data center environments. The X540 family of 10GBASE-T adapters further simplifies 10 GbE transitions by working with legacy Gigabit Ethernet switches and Cat 6A cabling.
