| Intel® 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller |
Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors. |
| Low-Profile |
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe* slots and servers. |
| Load balancing on multiple CPUs |
Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*. |
| Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) |
Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead. |
| iSCSI remote boot support |
Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than competing iSCSI solutions. |
| MSI-X support |
Minimizes the overhead of interrupts.
Allows load balancing of interrupt handling between different cores/CPUs. |
| Virtual Machine Device queues (VMDq) |
Allows the efficient routing of packets to the correct target machine in a virtualized environment using multiple hardware queues.
Ensures transmit fairness and prevents head-of-line blocking. |
| Low latency |
Ability to toggle between the interrupt aggregation and non-aggregation mode based on the type of data being transferred. |
| Optimized queues: 32 transmit (Tx) and 64 receive
(Rx) per port |
Network packet handling without waiting or buffer overflow Efficient packet prioritization. |
| Compatible with x4, x8, and x16 standard and low-profile PCI Express* slots |
Allows dual-port operation in almost any PCI Express server slot, except x1 slots, and allows each PCI Express slot port to operate without interfering with the other. |
| Support for most network operating systems (NOS) |
Enables widespread deployment. |
| Remote management support |
Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards. |
| Multi-mode fiber 62.5/50 um |
Ensures compatibility with fiber-optic cable lengths up to 300 meters. |
| RoHS compliant, lead-free technology |
Compliant with the European Union directive (effective as of July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials. |
| Intel® PROSet Utility for Windows* Device Manager |
Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration. |
| Intel backing |
Backed by an Intel® limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support. |
