This is a high-performance network adapter designed for data centers and enterprise environments where high-speed connectivity is essential. It features two 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, making it ideal for applications that require fast data transfer rates, such as cloud computing, virtualization, and high-frequency trading. The Intel X520-SR2 is built with the Intel 82599ES chip, ensuring reliable and efficient network performance. It supports advanced features like Quality of Service (QoS) and Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq), which help in managing traffic efficiently in virtualized environments.
The adapter uses PCI-Express 2.0 interface, which provides a stable and high-speed connection to the motherboard. It is compatible with full-height brackets, making it suitable for standard server chassis designs. The card is designed for use in environments that require high throughput and low latency, such as data centers or high-performance computing clusters. It supports SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), allowing for direct access to hardware resources by virtual machines, which enhances performance in virtualized setups.
Installation requires a PCI-E slot on the motherboard and proper cooling to ensure optimal performance. The card comes with a full-height bracket, which is necessary for secure installation in most server cases. Users should ensure that their system has a compatible PCI-E 2.0 slot and sufficient power supply to support the card's operation. It is often used as a replacement part for systems that require dual 10Gbps connectivity without the need for additional switches or cabling.
The Intel X520-SR2 is known for its reliability and compatibility with various server platforms. It supports both 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, providing flexibility for different networking needs. The card is commonly used in blade servers, rack-mounted systems, and other high-density computing environments where space and performance are critical factors.
