Description
Product Overview
A network daughter card (NDC) is a component that connects to the motherboard of a computer to provide additional networking capabilities. The 540-BBZS DELL Intel X710 DP 10GB DA/SFP+, + I350 DP 1GB Ethernet, Network Daughter Card is a type of NDC that provides advanced networking features to Dell servers. In this article, we will explain in detail the features and benefits of this card.
Features
The 540-BBZS DELL Intel X710 DP 10GB DA/SFP+, + I350 DP 1GB Ethernet, Network Daughter Card provides the following features:
Dual Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet The card has dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet capability, which allows for high-speed data transfers. This is useful for applications that require large amounts of data to be transferred quickly, such as video streaming and data backup.
SFP+ and Direct Attach The card also supports SFP+ and direct attach copper (DAC) connectivity, which provides flexibility in network design. SFP+ modules can be used to connect to fiber optic cables, while DAC cables can be used for short-distance connections.
Intel X710 Controller The card uses the Intel X710 controller, which provides advanced features such as Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Virtual Machine Direct Connect (VMDc). These features allow for efficient network virtualization and increased network performance.
Intel I350 Controller The card also includes the Intel I350 controller, which provides a separate dual port Gigabit Ethernet interface. This allows for additional network connectivity options and redundancy in case of a network failure.
Low Profile Form Factor The card has a low profile form factor, which makes it suitable for use in small form factor servers. This allows for greater flexibility in server design and deployment.
Benefits
The 540-BBZS DELL Intel X710 DP 10GB DA/SFP+, + I350 DP 1GB Ethernet, Network Daughter Card provides several benefits to Dell server users. These benefits include:
Improved Network Performance The dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet capability and advanced features provided by the Intel X710 controller allow for improved network performance. This is especially important for applications that require high-speed data transfers and low latency, such as real-time video streaming and online gaming.
Increased Network Flexibility The SFP+ and direct attach copper connectivity options provide flexibility in network design. This allows for the use of different types of network cables and modules, depending on the specific requirements of the network.
Enhanced Network Virtualization The VMDq and VMDc features provided by the Intel X710 controller allow for efficient network virtualization. This is useful for organizations that use virtualization technologies, as it allows for better resource allocation and management.
Improved Network Redundancy The separate dual port Gigabit Ethernet interface provided by the Intel I350 controller allows for additional network connectivity options and redundancy. This ensures that if one network interface fails, there is still a backup interface available.
Greater Server Design Flexibility The low profile form factor of the card allows for greater server design flexibility. This is useful for organizations that require servers with a small form factor, such as those used in data centers.
