Intel Compatible X710-DA2 BULK PCI-E 3.0 x8 10Gb x2 Κάρτα Δικτύου

Data center operators deploying dense virtualization clusters rely on the Intel X710-DA2 BULK to deliver consistent 10GbE throughput across two SFP+ ports. This PCI Express 3.0 x8 adapter fits standard full-height server slots, bringing hardware-accelerated networking to VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM environments without taxing CPU resources.

Key specifications

• Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports for high-bandwidth connectivity
• PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface, backward compatible with PCIe 2.0
• Intel X710-DA2 controller with advanced offloads: VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE
• PCI-SIG SR-IOV support for up to 128 virtual functions per port
• Low-latency, high-throughput design for storage and cloud workloads
• RoHS compliant, bulk packaging without low-profile bracket

Why choose it

This adapter reduces CPU overhead through stateless offloads and intelligent queue management, freeing processor cycles for business-critical applications. Its dual-port design enables link aggregation and failover, while SR-IOV allows direct I/O assignment to virtual machines, improving VM density and performance. The X710 chipset is widely validated across major server platforms, ensuring driver stability and long-term support.

Ideal use cases

• Virtualized server farms requiring high VM-to-network throughput
• Software-defined storage (SDS) and hyper-converged infrastructure
• High-frequency trading and latency-sensitive financial applications
• Enterprise network upgrades from 1GbE to 10GbE
• Cloud service provider nodes needing multi-tenant isolation

Good to know

Bulk packaging includes only the full-height bracket; low-profile brackets must be sourced separately. Compatible with a wide range of SFP+ transceivers and direct-attach copper cables. Requires an available PCIe x8 or x16 slot and adequate system cooling. Supports PXE boot, iSCSI, and FCoE for flexible deployment options.
