The Dell 46C7G Intel XL710QDA2 2-Port Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance network adapter designed for data centers that require high-speed connectivity and low-latency performance. This adapter is specifically designed for use in Dell servers and is compatible with a range of operating systems.
In this article, we will take a closer look at the Dell 46C7G Intel XL710QDA2 2-Port Converged Network Adapter, its features, benefits, and data center environments.
FeaturesThe Dell 46C7G Intel XL710QDA2 2-Port Converged Network Adapter is a dual-port adapter that provides 10GB/s Ethernet and FCoE connectivity. The adapter is based on the Intel XL710 chipset, which provides advanced features and capabilities for high-speed networking.
One of the key features of this adapter is its support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). This enables applications to bypass the TCP/IP stack, resulting in lower latency and higher throughput. The adapter also supports iWARP and SMB Direct, providing additional options for low-latency networking.
The Dell 46C7G Intel XL710QDA2 2-Port Converged Network Adapter also supports a range of offloading capabilities, including TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and iSCSI. This offloading reduces CPU utilization and improves overall system performance.
