The ThinkSystem Marvell QL41232 10/25GbE SFP28 Ethernet Adapters are based on eighth-generation technology from Marvell and feature Universal Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to offer concurrent support for RoCE, RoCE v2, and iWARP. The adapters are available in PCIe and OCP form factors. They are suitable for existing 10Gb customers who want to maintain 10Gb network support and want the investment protection of supporting 25GbE network speeds, but don't need FCoE or iSCSI support.

Did you know?

The QL41262 adapters and QL41232 adapters only differ in that the QL41232 adapters do not support the CNA functions, FCoE and iSCSI. All Ethernet functionality remains the same across the two adapter families. The adapter supports FastLinQ SmartAN auto-negotiation for simplified connectivity with switches without user intervention. SmartAN automates the connection and control of 10Gb and 25Gb connections based on the capabilities of the cables and switches used. This technology ensures that the connection is made with the highest possible speed with highest possible reliability.

The Intel X710 family of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) server network adapters addresses the demanding needs of the next-generation data center. By providing unmatched features for server and network virtualization, small packet performance, and low power; the data center network is flexible, scalable, and resilient.

The X710 is currently available in three host connections: a standard PCIe host interface, an OCP 3.0 interface, and a Mezzanine LOM (ML2) host interface.

The Intel X710 adapters support Intel I/O Virtualization Technology, which helps accelerate data and improves application response times. For virtualized environments, the X710 adapters offer advanced features with VMDq that lower processor usage and increase I/O performance.

Open Compute Project 3.0 (OCP 3.0) and Mezzanine LAN-on-Motherboard Generation 2 (ML2) adapters are cost-effective adapters that offers the flexibility advantages of a PCIe adapter while supporting integrated networking features, such as Wake-on-LAN and direct connectivity to the server's service processor for NCSI-compliant out-of-band systems management.

The ThinkSystem Intel E810-DA2 and E810-DA4 10/25GbE SFP28 network adapters improve application efficiency and network performance with innovative and versatile capabilities. With two or four 25GbE SFP28 ports and key performance optimizations, the E810 adapters supports solutions across Cloud, Enterprise, and Communications.

This product guide provides essential presales information to understand the Intel E810 adapters and their key features, specifications and compatibility. This guide is intended for technical specialists, sales specialists, sales engineers, IT architects, and other IT professionals who want to learn more about the E810 adapters and consider their use in IT solutions.
