Intel Ethernet Server Adapter XL710 For OCP - Industry-leading, Energy-efficient Design For 40/10GbE Performance And Multi-core Processors.

Use of SR-IOV with a networking device, for example, allows the bandwidth of a single port (function) to be partitioned into smaller slices that can be allocated to specific VMs or guests, via a standard interface.Intel® Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function (Intel® Ethernet AVF): Customers deploying mass-scale VMs or containers for their network infrastructure now have a common VF driver. As a founding member of OCP, Intel strives to increase the number of open solutions based on OCP specifications. Host-based features supported include:VMDQ for Emulated Path: VMDQ, enables a hypervisor to represent a single network port as multiple network ports that can be assigned to the individual VMs. XL710QDA2OCP Optimization - Intelligent offloads and accelerators to unlock network performance in servers with Intel® Xeon® processors. 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). Interoperability - Multiple speeds and media types for broad compatibility backed by extensive testing and validation. Up to 128 virtual functions (VFs), each VF can support a unique and separate data path for I/O related functions within the PCI Express hierarchy. This driver eases SR-IOV hardware upgrades or changes, preserves base-mode functionality in hardware and software, and supports an advanced set of features in the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series.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. Traffic handling is offloaded to the network controller, delivering the benefits of port partitioning with little to no administrative overhead by the IT staff.SR-IOV for Direct Assignment: Adapter-based isolation and switching for various virtual station instances enables optimal CPU usage in virtualized environments. The Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter XL710 for OCP is part of the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series and offers 40/10GbE port speeds.Intel® Ethernet 700 Series Network Adapters are the foundation for server connectivity, providing broad interoperability, critical performance optimizations, and increased agility for Communications, Cloud, and Enterprise IT network solutions. Agility - Both Kernel and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) drivers for scalable packet processing.Intel® Ethernet 700 Series delivers networking performance across a wide range of network port speeds through intelligent offloads, sophisticated packet processing, and quality open source drivers.All Intel® Ethernet 700 Series Network Adapters include these feature-rich technologies: Flexible and Scalable I/O for Virtualized InfrastructuresIntel® 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.
