IBM Intel X520 Dual Port 10G Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ PCIe Network Adapter Card for IBM System X - PCI Express x8, Supports Twinaxial & Fiber Optic Cables - Ideal for Data Centers, Server Upgrades & High-Speed Networking

IBM Intel X520 Dual-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ integrated adapter for IBM System X520 DUAL PORT 10GBE SFP+ EMBEDDED ADAPTER FOR SYSTEM Third generation 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This card delivers total performance of 10 Gigabit per second line speed for high I/O intensive clients, and showcases the next generation of 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking capabilities for the enterprise network and data center. This adapter uses the IBM System x Mezzanine design, which does not use a PCIe slot. The new integrated Intel X520 Dual-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ adapter for IBM System x provides great networking performance, either as a standard NIC, or with the physical port configured in emulation mode using the virtual switch in the virtual machine monitor (VMM), or directly assigned to a virtual machine. In emulation mode, Intel I/O technology and virtual machine device queues (VMDq) optimize network performance by offloading classification and copying data from the Virtual Switch software in the VMM to the Intel Ethernet Controller 82599 of 10 Gigabit.
