Intel® 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors.

Low-Profile

Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe* slots and servers.

Load balancing on multiple CPUs

Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*.

Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT)

Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead.

iSCSI remote boot support

Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than competing iSCSI soluti***.

MSI-X support

Minimizes the overhead of interrupts.

Allows load balancing of interrupt handling between different cores/CPUs.

Virtual Machine Device queues (VMDq)

Allows the efficient routing of packets to the correct target machine in a virtualized environment using multiple ha***are queues.

Ensures tran***it fairness and prevents head-of-line blocking.

Low latency

Ability to toggle between the interrupt aggregation and non-aggregation mode based on the type of data being transferred.

Optimized queues: 32 tran***it (Tx) and 64 receive

(Rx) per port

Network packet handling without waiting or buffer overflow Efficient packet prioritization.

Compatible with x4, x8, and x16 standard and low-profile PCI Express* slots

Allows dual-port operation in almost any PCI Express server slot, except x1 slots, and allows each PCI Express slot port to operate without interfering with the other.

Support for most network operating systems (NOS)

Enables widespread deployment.

Remote management support

Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standa***.

Multi-mode fiber 62.5/50 um

Ensures compatibility with fiber-optic cable lengths up to 300 meters.

RoHS compliant, lead-free technology

Compliant with the European Union directive (effective as of July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials.

Intel® PROSet Utility for Windows* Device Manager

Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration.

Intel backing

Backed by an Intel® limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support.
