Ethernet cards enable data exchange between all the devices connected in a local network (LAN). A networked IT infrastructure that functions well is of great significance when managing and controlling critical business processes in a company. The wide range of complex information transported across the network relies on fast and reliable data processing by the network cards. The cards offers at least one Ethernet interface which is designed for the respective network types and network architectures. The bus interface links the network card with the server. Trust the network communication of the new Ethernet LAN adapter. The new Intel I350-T4 Ethernet LAN Adapter, based on the latest Intel 1GbE chip technology, offers four Gigabit Ethernet ports for 10/100/1000BaseT. Virtualization support and Wake-on-LAN with selectable port are just some of the features from which you will benefit. Optimal support for your virtualization is provided by the support for Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq), Single Root I/O virtualization and sharing specification (SR-IOV). SR-IOV requires corresponding support in the system BIOS and in the operating system. PCI-SIG SR-IOV defines extensions of the PCI Express (PCIe) specification and enables PCI hardware resources to be shared with several system images or Virtual Machines. The new functions for energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) and DMA Coalescing (DMAC) are also supported; this helps to decrease the power consumption of the server itself.
