Features and benefits
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/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT)1
Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by off loading 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
Network packet handling without waiting or buffer overflow
Efficient packet prioritization
Compatible with x4,p2 x8, and x16 standard and low-profile PCI Express* slots
Allows dual-port operation in almost any PCI Express server slot, except x1 slots, and allows each PCI Express slot port to operate without interfering with the other
Support for most network operating systems (NOS)
Enables widespread deployment
Remote management support
Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards
SFP+ Direct Attached passive Cable (Twinaxial)
Ensures compatibility with direct attached cable lengths up to 7 meters
RoHS compliant,3 lead-free4 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
