Product Specification
The Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 is a 40GB Ethernet Converged Network Adapter (CNA) designed to provide high-speed networking capabilities for modern data centers. This CNA is built using the Intel XL710 Ethernet Controller, which enables it to support both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols.
In this article, we will explore the features and benefits of the Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 CNA, its applications, and its impact on modern data center operations.
Features
The Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 CNA is a PCIe Gen3 x8 dual-port adapter that supports 40G Ethernet connectivity. It comes equipped with two QSFP+ ports that support both Ethernet and FCoE protocols. It also features Intel Virtualization Technology for connectivity (VT-c), which enhances virtualization performance by offloading data traffic from the hypervisor to the CNA.
This CNA supports Data Center Bridging (DCB), which is a set of Ethernet extensions that provides lossless delivery, congestion notification, and priority-based flow control. DCB is particularly important for supporting FCoE, as it ensures that storage traffic is delivered with low latency and high reliability.
The Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 CNA also features a range of advanced networking features, including Intel Ethernet Flow Director (EFD), which enables hardware-based traffic steering and load balancing, and Intel Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function (Intel Ethernet AVF), which supports efficient network virtualization by enabling the creation of multiple virtual functions within the CNA.
Benefits
The Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 CNA provides a range of benefits to modern data center operations, including high-speed networking capabilities, low latency, and efficient virtualization support.
The 40G Ethernet connectivity provided by the CNA enables high-speed data transfer between servers and storage arrays, which is critical for modern data-intensive applications. The CNA also supports FCoE, which enables storage traffic to be carried over Ethernet networks, eliminating the need for separate Fibre Channel networks.
The Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 CNA also features low latency and high reliability, thanks to its support for DCB. This ensures that storage traffic is delivered with minimal delay and high reliability, reducing the risk of data loss or corruption.
The CNA also supports efficient virtualization, enabling the creation of multiple virtual functions within the adapter. This allows multiple virtual machines to share the same physical network interface, reducing the need for additional hardware and simplifying network management.
Applications
The Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 CNA is ideal for a range of applications in modern data center environments. It is particularly well-suited for use in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, which require high-speed networking capabilities to support data-intensive applications such as scientific simulations and financial modeling.
The CNA is also well-suited for use in virtualized environments, where efficient network virtualization is critical for supporting multiple virtual machines running on a single physical server.
In addition, the CNA is suitable for use in storage networks, where its support for FCoE enables storage traffic to be carried over Ethernet networks, eliminating the need for separate Fibre Channel networks.
Fainaly, the Intel XL710QDA2G2P5 Dual Ports 40GB Ethernet Converged Network Adapter is a powerful networking device designed to provide high-speed connectivity and efficient virtualization support for modern data center environments. Its support for 40G Ethernet and FCoE protocols, along with its advanced networking features and low latency, make it an ideal choice for a range of applications in HPC, virtualized, and storage network environments.

What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
