Intel Networking I350-T4 Ethernet Server Adapter - 4 Port Gigabit PCIe Card for Virtualization and iSCSI Networking

The Intel Networking I350-T4 Ethernet Server Adapter is a high-performance, bridgeless gigabit network card designed to deliver reliable and scalable connectivity for enterprise servers. Built with the advanced Intel Ethernet Controller I350, this plug-in card supports PCI Express (PCIe) 2.1 at 5GT/s, ensuring fast data transfer rates and efficient network operations. Its robust design makes it suitable for demanding virtualized environments and storage area network (SAN) configurations, providing seamless integration and enhanced performance.

This adapter features hardware-assisted technologies that significantly improve system efficiency. Hardware accelerations such as large send offload, receive side coalescing, and flow director help reduce CPU load and latency, optimizing overall system throughput. Additionally, the card supports scalable iSCSI performance, enabling cost-effective, high-speed SAN connectivity without requiring proprietary SAN-specific adapters or switches. The built-in iSCSI initiators for Windows, Linux, and VMware ESXi simplify storage networking by providing a dependable and unified solution for diverse operating environments.

The I350-T4 supports flexible I/O virtualization, including Intel VT-c technology, that allows up to 32 virtual ports with port partitioning and quality of service (QoS). This feature helps optimize network traffic management across virtual and physical servers, providing traffic isolation and bandwidth allocation. The adapter also includes innovative power management features such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and DMA Coalescing, which contribute to lower power consumption and increased energy efficiency, making it suitable for green data centers. The retail package includes the Ethernet server adapter along with a low-profile bracket, catering to a range of server chassis configurations. Overall, the Intel I350-T4 provides a reliable, scalable, and efficient networking solution that supports modern server infrastructure needs with advanced virtualization and storage capabilities.
