Description
Main Specification of 40GBPS Network Adapter
The XL710QDA2BLK is a 40 Gbps Ethernet converged network adapter made by Intel. It is a PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 x8 adapter that connects to a host system via a QSFP+ (quad small form-factor pluggable) interface.
This adapter supports a variety of Ethernet protocols, including 40 Gbps Ethernet, 25 Gbps Ethernet, 10 Gbps Ethernet, and 1 Gbps Ethernet. Additionally, it supports data center bridging (DCB) and converged enhanced ethernet (CEE) for efficient use of network bandwidth.
It also support various features such as Large Receive Offload (LRO), TCP/UDP segmentation offload (TSO), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to improve network performance and reduce host CPU utilization.
It is designed to work in data center environments, to provide high-speed, low-latency communication between servers and storage systems, and to support virtualization and cloud computing workloads.
Power and Innovation of QSFP+ Adepter
The XL710QDA2BLK Intel 40GBPS PCI Express 3.0 X8 QSFP+ Ethernet Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance adapter that supports 40 Gbps data transfer speeds. It is designed for use in data centers and other high-performance computing environments. It supports a variety of networking protocols, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and InfiniBand. Additionally, it features advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) which help optimize network performance. The adapter also supports Intel’s Data Direct I/O technology, which helps to reduce CPU utilization and improve overall system performance.
Resiliency and High Availability
The XL710QDA2BLK Intel 40GBPS PCI Express 3.0 X8 QSFP+ Ethernet Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance network adapter that is designed for resiliency and high availability. It features a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface, which provides fast and reliable data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps.
One key feature of the XL710QDA2BLK is its support for QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, which allow for high-density connections of up to 40 Gbps. This allows for efficient use of server and switch ports, reducing the number of required adapters and cables.
The XL710QDA2BLK also supports advanced features such as Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) which improve network performance and reduce CPU utilization. Additionally, the adapter supports Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c) which allows for efficient virtualization of network traffic.
In terms of resiliency, the XL710QDA2BLK supports link aggregation and failover, allowing for increased network availability in the event of a failure. It also supports Intel’s Advanced Server Platform Services, which provide advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities.
