High-Performance for Network Adapter
The X540T2 Intel Ethernet 10 Gigabit Converged Network Adapter is designed to provide high-performance for a wide range of networking applications.
One of the main features that contributes to the adapter's high-performance is its support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This provides fast and reliable data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which can help to ensure that data is transmitted quickly and without interruption. This high-speed capability makes it suitable for use in high-bandwidth applications such as data center, cloud computing, and high-performance computing.
The adapter also has dual ports which allows for multiple connections to different devices. This can be beneficial in environments where multiple devices need to be connected to the network simultaneously. This can improve the overall performance of the network by allowing multiple devices to send and receive data at the same time.
The adapter also supports advanced technologies that can help to improve its performance. For example, the adapter supports TCP/UDP segmentation offload (TSO/USO) which allows the adapter to offload the segmentation of TCP and UDP packets to the network adapter, rather than having the host CPU perform this task. This can help to reduce CPU utilization and improve network performance by allowing the host CPU to focus on other tasks.
The adapter also supports Large Receive Offload (LRO) which is a feature that allows the adapter to combine multiple incoming packets into a single larger packet before passing them to the host CPU. This can help to reduce CPU utilization and improve network performance by reducing the number of packets that need to be processed by the host CPU.
Additionally, the adapter supports Data Center Bridging (DCB) which is a set of standards that are designed to improve the performance and reliability of data center networks. DCB includes technologies such as Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) which can be used to prioritize network traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
All of these features and technologies work together to provide this Intel Ethernet 10 Gigabit Converged Network Adapter with high-performance, making it well-suited for use in demanding, high-traffic environments where high-speed, low-latency network communication is critical.

Reliability
The X540T2 Intel Ethernet 10 Gigabit Converged Network Adapter is designed to provide reliability for a wide range of networking applications.
Reliability refers to the ability of a network to continue functioning even in the event of a failure or interruption, and to provide an uninterrupted service to its users.
One of the key features that contributes to the adapter's reliability is its support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This provides a fast and reliable connection with data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, which can help to ensure that data is transmitted quickly and without interruption, even in the event of a failure.
The adapter also has dual ports which allows for multiple connections to different devices. This can be beneficial in environments where multiple devices need to be connected to the network simultaneously. This can improve the overall reliability of the network by allowing for redundancy and failover in case of any issues with one of the connections.
The adapter also supports advanced technologies that can help to improve its reliability. For example, the adapter supports TCP/UDP segmentation offload (TSO/USO) which allows the adapter to offload the segmentation of TCP and UDP packets to the network adapter, rather than having the host CPU perform this task.

About Refurbished Products
A converged adapter is also referred to as a converged network adapter (CNA) or a single network interface card (NIC). Within a network, the CNA serves the combined roles of a fiber channel host bus adapter and TCP/IP Ethernet network interface card.
The role of a converged adapter is to connect servers to FC-based SANs and Ethernet-based LANs, including workstations and other hardware units. The adapter connects to the server through the PCI-e interface. Therefore, the server will send fiber channel SAN and Ethernet-based LAN to the Ethernet port on the converged adapter through the Fiber Channel over Ethernet protocol for FC-based SAN data and Ethernet protocol for traffic and data on LAN.
At the CNA level, FCoE traffic is first converted into FC and then sent to the FC-based SAN. There's no conversion for Ethernet traffic, which is directly sent to a LAN. Where a CNA is absent, servers must have at the very least two adapters. The first is an FC HBA adapter that aids in connecting the server to SAN, while the second will have a TCP/IP Ethernet NIC that facilitates the connection to the LAN.
We have a wide range of converged network adapters that will come in handy in meeting the requirements of your computer network. The use of a CNA to make the connection between servers to both SAN and LAN helps to reduce costs since it will cut back on the number of adapter cards, PCI-e slots, cables, and switch ports used within the network. As a result, a converged adapter will greatly minimize the challenge of network maintenance and administration, since there will be only a single connection and a single cable to look after.
Other benefits of converged adapters and converged networks are:
- Simplification of the typical storage and network topology
- Access to basic network interface card features and performance virtualization over NIC.
- All-in-one provision of Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fiber Channel (FC) connectivity by offloading FCoE and iSCSI hardware.
- Guaranteed data integrity
- Power saving because of fewer adapters and cables.
- Minimal impact of the overlay network
- Fewer switch ports - 1 Port, 2 Port, 4 Port
- Lower cabling requirements
- Centralized network management
- Improved quality of service
- Remote direct memory access to facilitate data acceleration
- Support for software-defined networking (SDN) programming
Converged network adapter plays a strategic role within networks and many IT setups in that they help business owners and network admins consolidate their systems, harness new and emerging technologies, and ensure efficient IT operations. CNAs will also serve as a foundation for all-inclusive progress to more powerful and sophisticated computing networks and systems. With the increased sophistication in storage, handling, and evaluation of data, CNAs as well as other network admin tools are changing the network landscape and creating intelligent and capable networks.
Besides, the converged adapters can be used with specific hardware pieces that can be used to satisfy performance standards. A CNA can be used alongside 10 Gigabit and 40 Gigabit to support greater performance network transmission.
