Oracle 40Gigabit Ethernet Card – PCI Express 3.0 x8 – 2 Port(s) – Optical Fiber – 40GBase-X – Plug-in Card

Oracle Quad 10 Gb or Oracle Dual 40 Gb Ethernet Adapter is the latest highbandwidth, low power network interface card based on the Intel® Ethernet Controller XL710. This dual-port QSFP+ 3.0 x8 low profile adapter is designed to provide multiport network connectivity in data centers. Today's cloud enabled software defined data centers require higher networking speeds,and higher performance for mission critical applications. Oracle Quad 10 Gb Ethernet Adapter or Oracle Dual 40 Gb Ethernet Adapter addresses these needs with two QSFP+ interfaces that provide up to 80 Gb/sec bandwidth.

Overview

Today's cloud-enabled data centers with multi-core compute nodes, high performance storage appliances, software defined networking, and virtualization technologies are driving the need for high bandwidth, scalable network interface adapters. Oracle Quad 10 Gb Ethernet Adapter or Oracle Dual 40 Gb Ethernet Adapter with two 40 Gb/sec ports, virtualization, cloud features, and LAN/SAN convergence is ideal for server and storage connectivity in data centers and enterprises. The next-generation Ethernet adapter ports are set to a factory default of four 10 Gb/sec with only the top 40 Gb port enabled. The adapter comes with an ability to dynamically change the ports to two 40 Gb/sec using a software utility. The dynamic configuration of the port modes is a game changer for infrastructure-as-a-service(IaaS) cloud providers that want to take advantage of their existing 10 GbE infrastructure.

Advanced Features

• Advanced single root I/O virtualization(SRIOV) capabilities with up to 16 physical functions (PFs) and up to 128 virtual functions (VFs)
