Intel Ethernet Dual Port Server Adapter I340-T2 for IBM System x <br>
<br>
ITM: 49Y4230<br>
<br>
Based on the new Intel® 82580 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the Intel Ethernet Dual Port and Quad Port Server Adapters for IBM® System x®<br>
are Intel's fourth generation of PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet (PCIe GbE) adapters. These adapters showcase the industry's first fully integrated, <br>
multi-port PCIe 2.0 GbE controllers, providing a smaller footprint and lower power dissipation. <br>
<br>
In addition, these adapters offer advanced features, including support for multi-core processors and server virtualization, as well as a scalable<br> PCI Express 2.0 interface. Intel's first eco-friendly, halogen-free design combines low power use and low cost for one of the best price to <br> performance ratios in a multi-port solution that is available today. <br>
<br>
These dual port and quad port adapters provide high-performing, multi-port gigabit connectivity in a multi-core platform as well as in a <br>
virtualized environment. In a multi-core platform, the adapter supports technologies such as Intel QuickData Technology, MSI-X, and Low <br>
Latency Interrupts that help accelerate data across the platform, therefore improving application response times. For virtualized environments, <br>
Intel Ethernet adapters have advanced features with VMDq that lower CPU utilization and increase I/O performance. <br>
<br>
