Features & Benefits
| Features | Benefits |
|---|
Top LAN performance for Local Area Networks
- Intel® 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller
|
- Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors saves cost, power and complexity
|
Multi-core CPU acceleration
- Load balancing on multi-core processors through Intelligent Queue Support
|
- Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux
|
Virtualization at its best
- Intel® VT-c with VMDq and VMDc (SR-IOV + VM Mobility) greatly disburdens the Hypervisors of supporting virtualization operating systems from CPU intensive workloads; SR-IOV provides up to 64 direct connections (Virtual Functions) between one LAN port and the Virtual Machines of a server blade
|
- Enhanced data throughput of virtual machines and eased migration of VMs
