Features Benefits

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/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

• Enhances network performance and reduces CPU utilization in the virtualized environment

• Reduces I/O overhead on the hypervisor in a virtualized server by performing data sorting and

coalescing in the network silicon

Network packet handling without waiting or buffer overflow

• Efficient packet prioritization

Support for most Network Operating Systems (NOS)

• Enables widespread deployment

Compatible with x8 and x16 standard and

low-profile PCI Express* slots

• Allows each PCI Express* slot port to operate without interfering with the other

Remote management support

• Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards

RJ-45 connections over category-6A cabling

• Ensures compatibility with cable lengths up to 100 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 Microsoft 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

Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server slots while adding

10 Gigabit Ethernet capability with the Intel 10 Gigabit AT

Server Adapter. The dedicated input/output (I/O) bandwidth

of PCIe ensures priority performance on each port — without

bus sharing — for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, as well as a

low-profile design, which improves server throughput and rack

density at the same time. In addition, eight-lane PCIe enables

maximum bandwidth for fast and efficient data transfer.

Advances for Storage Over Ethernet

The fast growth in storage capacity coupled with server

virtualization has brought the need for Storage Area Network

(SAN) to the forefront. To satisfy this growing demand, Intel 10

Gigabit AT Server Adapters support iSCSI acceleration through

Intel I/OAT and provide advanced features for unified networking.

Fast and reliable networked storage can be achieved via native

iSCSI support with Microsoft, Linux,* and VMware operating

systems as well as support for iSCSI remote boot.
