Dell Dual Port 10 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card.

• Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard with DA Dual Port Server Adapter
• Allows load balancing of interrupt handling between multiple cores/CPUs
• Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards
• Ensures transmit fairness and prevents head-of-line blocking Virtual Machine Device queues
• Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead

The Intel^® 10 Gigabit AF DA Dual Port Server Adapter from Dell^™ is the newest member of Intels robust family of 10 Gigabit products. It is designed as a low-cost, low-power adapter. This adapter provides direct attach copper twinaxial cable connections between servers and a top-of-rack switch. The Intel 10 Gigabit AD DA Dual Port Server Adapter is well-suited for customers who require low-cost in-the-rack connections of less than 10 meters between server and top-of-rack switch.

This Server Adapter is designed to meet the throughput and latency requirements of bandwidth-hungry applications, while offering a very low-power envelope for energy efficiency. The low-power, efficient design allows for two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single PCIe adapter. Additionally, Intel 10 Gigabit AFDA Server Adapters enable Intel^® I/O Acceleration Technology with support for Intel ^® QuickData for faster I/O processing on the new Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel^® Xeon^® processor-based servers.
