Simplify technology transitions with the Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X710-T2L for OCP 3.0. Autonegotiation between port speeds provides maximum flexibility for 10GBASE-T configurations. This low-power adapter also supports Energy Efficient Ethernet to efficiently reduce power consumption during periods of low data activity.The X710-T2L for OCP 3.0 is part of the Intel Ethernet 700 Series, the foundation for server connectivity; providing broad interoperability, critical performance optimizations, and increased agility for Communications, Cloud, and Enterprise IT network solutions.
Flexible and scalable I/O for Virtualized Infrastructures
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT), delivers outstanding I/O performance in virtualized server environments. I/O bottlenecks are reduced through intelligent offloads, enabling near-native performance and VM scalability. These offloads include Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Flexible Port Partitioning using SR-IOV with a common Virtual Function driver for networking traffic per Virtual Machine (VM).
Enhanced Network Virtualization Overlays (NVO)
Network virtualization has changed the way networking is done in the data center, delivering accelerations across a wide range of tunneling methods. VxLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS, and VxLAN-GPE with NSH Offloads: These stateless offloads preserve application performance for overlay networks, and the network traffic can be distributed across CPU cores, increasing network throughput.
Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP)
FPP leverages the PCI-SIG SR-IOV specification. Virtual controllers can be used by the Linux host directly and/or assigned to virtual machines.
Greater intelligence and performance for NFV and cloud deployments
Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) customizable packet filtering, along with enhanced Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), support advanced packet forwarding and highly-efficient packet processing for both Cloud and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) workloads.
Advanced traffic steering
Intel Ethernet Flow Director (Intel Ethernet FD) is an advanced traffic steering capability. Large numbers of flow affinity filters direct receive packets by their flows to queues for classification, load balancing, and matching between flows and CPU cores. Steering traffic into specific queues can eliminate context switching required within the CPU. As a result, Intel Ethernet FD significantly increases the number of transactions per second and reduces latency for cloud applications like memcached.
