Intel

10 Gigabit Performance at

the Lowest Cost Per Port

Adding to a robust family of 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters, Intel is

now offering the Intel® 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter.

Following the 802.ak specification, the Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual

Port Server Adapter offers the lowest cost per port of all the

current 10GbE interconnects. The low-profile PCI Express* form

factor combined with two CX4 ports and a low-power envelope

for energy efficiency, makes the board ideal for slot-constrained

environments. 10GBASE-CX4 adapters are well-suited for

customers with shorter distance and low latency requirements.

Next-Generation 10 Gigabit Performance

10 Gigabit Ethernet has moved past the early adoption stage and

is rapidly becoming mainstay for backbones within enterprise and

service provider networks. 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.

Designed to meet the need of high-speed, low-latency intercon-

nects of HPC clusters, the Intel® 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server

Adapter provides bandwidth-intensive applications with highly

affordable 10GbE network performance for distances up to

15 meters with standard twinaxial or up to 100 meters with

Intel® Connects cable. Based on the Intel® 82598EB 10 Gigabit

Ethernet controller, Intel’s next-generation 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual

Port Server Adapter is designed to meet the throughput require-

ments of bandwidth-hungry applications. Intel’s new 10GBASE-

CX4 adapter can also be used in wiring closets and server racks,

as well as data centers to aggregate servers.

Performance-Enhancing Features

Designed for Multi-Core Environments

When implemented within multi-core processor environments,

the Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter offers ad-

vanced networking features for efficient distribution of Ethernet

workloads across CPU cores. Load balancing of interrupts using

MSI-X enables more efficient response times and improved

application performance. CPU utilization can be lowered further

through stateless offloads such as TCP segmentation offload,

header replications/splitting, and Direct Cache Access (DCA).

Multiple Queues Optimized

for Virtual Environments

The Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual Port Server Adapter is optimized

for virtualized environments, supporting multiple queues, allevi-

ating I/O bottlenecks between virtual machines. Virtual Machine

Device queue

copying from the virtual machine monitor (VMM) software layer

to the hardware, improving overall throughput and CPU utilization

on virtualized servers. Additionally, the Intel 10 Gigabit CX4 Dual

Port Server Adapter enables Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology

(Intel® I/OAT) with support for Intel® QuickData for faster I/O

processing on the new Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®

processor-based servers.
