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/OAT2

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 multiple 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 x8, and x16 standard and low-profile PCI Express* slots

Allows each PCI Express slot port to operate without interfering with the other

Support for most Network Operating Systems (NOS)

Enables widespread deployment

Supports up to 100m with Intel® Connects Cable

CX4 connecti*** over 8 pair, 100 Ohm, Twinaxial cabling

Ensures compatibility with cable lengths up to 15m

Supports up to 100m with Intel® Connects Cable

RoHS-compliant1

Compliant with the European Union directive 2002/95/EC to reduce the use of hazardous materials

Intel® PROSet Utility for Microsoft 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
