Description
PCI Express x 8 NIC, Dual 10Gbps Copper RJ45 with Intel® X540AT2 Network Controller
PCIE NIC, Dual Port SFP+ Server Adapters with SFP+ connectivity are the most flexible and scalable Ethernet adapters to meet the demands of today’s data center environments. Datacenter networks are being pushed to their limits. The escalating deployments of servers with multi-core processors and demanding applications such as High Performance Computing (HPC), database clusters, and video-on-demand are driving the need for 10 Gigabit connections. Customers require flexible and scalable I/O solutions to meet the rigorous requirements of running mission-critical applications in virtualized and unified storage environments.
10 Gigabit for the Broad Market
The NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 is the latest innovation in Intel's leadership to drive 10 Gigabit Ethernet into the broader server market. This adapter hosts Intel's latest Ethernet silicon, the Intel Ethernet Controller X540, which is used by many OEMs as a single chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet(10 GbE) on the latest server platforms
10G BASE-T Simplifies the Transition to 10 GbE
The NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 10GBase-T works with existing networks today. It works with legacy Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches and Cat 6A cabling. Install the NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 10GBase-T adapter into a server and the auto-negotiation between 1 GbE and 10GbE provides the necessary backwards compatibility that most customers require for a smooth transition and easy migration to 10 GbE. When time and budget allows, 10GBASE-T switches can be added any time to experience the full benefits of 10GbE.
10GBASE-T uses the copper twisted pair cables that are very familiar to IT professionals today. It is everything you know and love about 1000BASE-T. The knowledge, training and investment in BASE-T are preserved. 10GBASE-T is the easiest and most versatile 10 GbE and you can deploy it anywhere in your data center. Its flexible reach from 1 meter to 100 meters supports the latest network architectures including Top of Rack (ToR), Middle of Row (MoR), and End of Row (EoR).
10G Performance at Low Cost and Low Power
The NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 10GBase-T adapter is the lowest cost way to deploy 10 GbE in your data center today. The NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 uses low-cost, Cat 6 and Cat 6A cabling. Chances are this cabling already exists in the data center.
A way for Intel to reduce cost and power is to integrate components into a single-chip solution. Of course, integration is what Intel does best. With the new Intel X540 Controller, the MAC and the PHY are integrated into a single-chip solution.
So, why is integration important?
First, integration translates to lower power. A single-chip solution simply uses less power than two separate components.
This means no more active heat sink and reduces the per-port power consumption.
Second, integration also means lower cost per port. Manufacturing a single part costs less than two. When cabling is accounted for, cost efficiencies realized from a single part mean 10GBASE-T is the lowest cost media to deploy.
With lower cost and power, 10GBASE-T is ready for broad deployment. 10GBASE-T is an option for every rack and tower server in the data center. The wait for a low-cost 10 GbE copper solution to broadly deploy 10 GbE to all corners of the data center is over. The NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 10GBase-T adapter provides bandwidth-intensive applications with highly affordable 10 GbE network performance and cost-effective RJ-45 connectivity for distances up to 100 meters.
Exciting New data Center usage Models
More than simply a 10x increase in performance, with 10GbE there are exciting new usage models that are now possible, including Unified Networking (iSCSI, FCoE and LAN), Virtualization (VMDq and SR- IOV), and now, Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP).
Flexible I/O Virtualization
Virtualization changes the way server resources are deployed and managed by running multiple applications and operating systems independently on a single server.
The NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 10GBase-T adapter includes Intel Virtualization Technology for connectivity (Intel VT-c) to deliver I/O virtualization and Quality of Service (QoS) features designed directly into the Intel X540 controller on the adapter. Intel I/O virtualization advances network connectivity models used in today's servers to more efficient models by providing FPP, multiple Rx/Tx queues, and on-controller QoS functionality that can be used in both virtual and non-virtual server deployments.
Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP)
PCIe v2.0 (5GT/s) support enables customers to take full advantage of 10 GbE by providing a maximum of 20Gbps bi-directional throughput per port on a single dual-port card.
Unified Networking
Unified Networking solutions on the NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 10GBase-T adapter let you combine the traffic of multiple data center networks like LAN and SAN onto a single efficient network fabric. You now have the choice of NFS, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) to carry both network and storage traffic at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. The NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 10GBase-T adapter combines support for all of these traffic types in one adapter at no additional cost and with no additional licensing fees for the adapter.
Intel's Unified Networking solutions are enabled through a combination of standard Intel Ethernet products along with trusted network protocols integrated into the operating systems. Thus, Unified Networking is available on every Server either through LAN-on-Motherboard (LOM) implementation or via an add-in Network Interface Card (NIC).
Intel has delivered high-quality Ethernet products for over 30 years and our Unified Networking solutions are built on the original principles that made us successful in Ethernet:
Open Architecture integrates networking with the server, enabling IT managers to reduce complexity and overhead while enabling a flexible and scalable data centre network.
Intelligent offloads lower cost and power while delivering the application performance that customers expect.
Proven Ethernet unified Networking is built on trusted Intel Ethernet technology, enabling customers to deploy FCoE or iSCSI while maintaining the quality of their traditional Ethernet networks.
iSCSi Simplifies SAN Connectivity
iSCSI uses Ethernet to carry storage traffic, extending the familiarity and simplicity of Ethernet to storage networking, without the need for SAN-specific adapters or switches. NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 is the easiest, most reliable, and most cost-effective way of connecting servers to iSCSI SANs.
Open FCoE Consolidates LANs and Legacy SANs
Intel's Open FCoE solution enables NICPCIE-10G-2RJ45 (adapters and controllers) to support Fibre Channel payload encapsulated in Ethernet frames. There is no upgrade charge for Open FCoE on the adapter. Just as with iSCSI, now customers can easily connect to an FCoE network with Intel 10 GbE solutions.
For the first time, Open-FCoE is now supported on 10GBASE-T. As 10GBASE-T switches come to market enabled with FCoE support, the LREC9802BT is ready when you're ready. This enables you to use cost-effective 10GBASE-T for all your converged networking needs. The Open- FCoE architecture uses a combination of FCoE initiators in Microsoft Windows*and Linux* operating systems and in the VMware* ESXi hypervisor to deliver high-performance FCoE solutions using standard 10 GbE Ethernet adapters.
This approach enables IT managers to simplify the data center and standardize on a single adapter for LAN and SAN connectivity. The LREC9802BT is designed to fully offload the FCoE data path to deliver full-featured converged network adapter (CNA) functionality without compromising on power efficiency and interoperability.
Data Center Bridging (DCB) delivers Lossless Ethernet
Conventional Ethernet does not guarantee successful data delivery, which is not acceptable for SAN traffic. Ethernet enhancements such as Data Center Bridging (DCB) overcome that limitation with technologies that guarantee lossless delivery, congestion notification, priority-based flow control, and priority groups.
The combination of 10 GbE and unified networking helps organizations overcome connectivity challenges and simplify the data center infrastructure. 10 GbE provides a simple, well-understood fabric for virtualized data centers, one that helps reduce cost and complexity as the number of virtual machines continues to grow
