Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2 - Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Card with iSCSI Support

The Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2 is a reliable and high-performance network solution designed for demanding server environments. Featuring Intel's proven Gigabit Ethernet technology, this plug-in card supports PCI Express (PCIe) 2.1 at 5GT/s, ensuring fast and stable network connectivity. Its bridgeless design enhances data throughput and reduces latency, making it suitable for both virtualized and traditional server deployments. With built-in hardware-based iSCSI acceleration, the I350-T2 enables scalable SAN connectivity, simplifying storage networking without the need for specialized SAN adapters or switches. This makes it an ideal choice for data centers seeking efficient and cost-effective storage solutions. The adapter’s architecture includes advanced features such as large send offload, receive side coalescing, and Intel Ethernet Flow Director, which collectively help lower CPU utilization and improve network processing efficiency. Power management technologies like Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and DMA Coalescing (DMAC) further optimize energy consumption, helping organizations reduce operational costs. The I350 series supports flexible port partitioning, allowing administrators to create up to eight dedicated networks on a single Ethernet port, leveraging Intel VT-c technology and PCI-SIG SR-IOV specifications. This flexibility benefits virtualized environments by offloading network traffic management from the CPU to the Ethernet controller, thus enhancing overall system performance and traffic isolation. The adapter package includes a low-profile bracket, making it adaptable for various server chassis, and is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, ensuring broad deployment options. Whether used for SAN connectivity or high-speed networking, the Intel Ethernet I350-T2 provides a robust, scalable, and energy-efficient solution tailored for enterprise server applications.
