The Intel Ethernet Converged XL710-QDA2 is a dual-port 40GbE network adapter with a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, suited to servers and network appliances that need high-bandwidth wired connectivity.
Recommended For
- Virtualization and network-function-virtualization operators who need dual 40GbE links for server traffic and can use features such as SR-IOV, virtual-machine queues, and network-overlay offloads.
- Server and storage administrators moving large datasets between NAS, storage, and compute systems over an existing 40GbE QSFP+ network, or using a compatible 10GbE breakout setup.
- Network-appliance and packet-processing builders running traffic-heavy workloads that can benefit from DPDK, hardware traffic steering, and small-packet processing features.
- Homelab or Proxmox users with a compatible server, QSFP+ switching or direct-attach equipment, and a real need for 40GbE links between hosts.
