Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X710-T2L - Dual 10GbE PCIe v3.0 Card for Server Virtualization and High-Performance Networking

The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter X710-T2L is a high-performance, low-profile PCI Express v3.0 x8 card designed to provide reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for servers. This adapter supports multiple speed and media types, including 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 10GBASE-T, ensuring broad compatibility across various network infrastructures. Its advanced features include intelligent offloads, hardware-based traffic steering with Intel Ethernet Flow Director, and extensive virtualization support, making it ideal for data centers, cloud deployments, and enterprise IT environments.

The X710-T2L enhances server performance through I/O virtualization innovations such as Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which facilitate scalable virtual machine networking with minimal CPU overhead. It supports up to 128 virtual functions, enabling efficient partitioning of network bandwidth among multiple virtual machines or network slices. Additionally, the adapter is optimized for small packet processing, making it suitable for network appliances and network functions virtualization (NFV).

Designed for energy efficiency, the adapter incorporates Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE / IEEE 802.3az), reducing power consumption during low activity periods. It also supports various network virtualization offloads, including VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS, and VXLAN-GPE with Network Service Headers (NSH). The adapter's robust interoperability and extensive testing ensure compatibility with a wide range of media types and network configurations, backed by Intel’s reputation for reliability and performance. This product is RoHS compliant and comes with a full-height bracket for standard server installations. The package includes the network adapter and the necessary bracket for deployment in diverse server environments.

Whether used for virtualized environments, network appliances, or cloud infrastructure, the Intel Ethernet X710-T2L delivers the scalability, flexibility, and performance needed to meet demanding networking requirements, supported by advanced features and open-source driver compatibility for scalable packet processing and network management.
