Extending Intel Virtualization Technology beyond Server Virtualization to the Network with Hardware Optimizations and Offloads for the Rapid Provisioning of Networks in an Agile Data Center Key Features Dual-port 40 GbE adapters. PCI Express* (PCIe) 3.0, x8 and higher. Exceptional low power adapters. Network Virtualization offloads including VXLAN, NVGRE, Geneve, and Network Service Headers (NSH). Intel® Ethernet Flow Director for hardware based application traffic steering. Data Plane Developer Kit (DPDK) optimized for efficient packet processing. Excellent small packet performance for network appliances and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). Intelligent offloads to enable high performance with Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers. I/O virtualization innovations for maximum performance in a virtualized server. Unified networking providing a single wire support for LAN and storage: NAS (SMB, NFS) and SAN (iSCSI). Overview Intel continues its legacy of Ethernet leadership by introducing the latest 40 gigabit family of adapters powered by, the Intel® Ethernet Controller XL710, code-named Fortville. The XL710 adapter family addresses the demanding needs of the next-generation agile data center by providing unmatched features for both server and network virtualization, flexibility for LAN networks, and proven, reliable performance Leading 40 GbE Performance Optimized performance vectors (and keyuses) include: Small Packet Performance: Achieves wire-rate throughput on smaller payload sizes (>128 Bytes at 40 GbE). Bulk Transfer Performance: Delivers linerate performance with low CPU usage for large application buffers. Virtualized Performance: Alleviates hypervisor I/O bottlenecks by providing flow separation for Virtual Machines (VMs). Network Virtualization: Network virtualization overlay offloads including VXLAN, NVGRE Geneve, and NSH. Storage Performance: Enables competitive performance with native OS drivers and intelligent offload for NAS (NFS, SMB), and SAN (iSCSI). A Complete, Unified Networking Solution Converging data and storage onto one fabric eliminates the need for multiple adapters, cables, and switches. Furthermore 40 gigabit Ethernet provides the bandwidth to converge these multiple fabrics onto a single wire. A key capability that makes all this possible is traffic class separation provided by Data Center Bridging (DCB)1 -providing a one-wire solution with virtual pipes for the different classes of traffic:

• The 40Gigabit Ethernet card will provide high-performance Ethernet for servers and high-end appliances while minimizing the usage of both power and CPU cycles • This 8000 MB/s bandwidth PCI Express 3.0 x8 adapter ensures easy connectivity and plug-in form-factor for affordable and reliable Ethernet network • Supports optical fiber cable to span longer distances and provides data transmission rates par excellence between servers and network components • With the 40GBase-CR4 technology get up to 40Gbps data transfer rate over the twin-axial cable
