Intel X710-T2L (X710T2L) 10Gbps PCIe 3.0x8 Network Interface Card

Struggling with slow data transfers and network bottlenecks? The Intel X710-T2L (X710T2L) 10Gbps PCIe 3.0x8 Network Interface Card gives you a reliable, high-speed wired connection that keeps servers and virtual machines moving at full throttle, cutting latency and freeing up CPU cycles for the tasks that matter most.

Why Choose an Intel Network Card

With this card installed, you’ll notice smoother data flows and quicker response times in everyday workloads. The low-profile design fits neatly into tight server bays, while the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface ensures the card can fully utilise the 10 Gbps bandwidth without throttling. It feels like adding a fast lane to your network traffic, letting you focus on running applications rather than troubleshooting connections.

Benefits of Intel Network Card

• Faster throughput: Deliver 10 Gbps speeds, reducing file transfer times dramatically.
• Lower latency: iWARP and RDMA cut round-trip delays, improving real-time performance.
• Power efficiency: DDIO technology reduces power draw by keeping data close to the CPU cache.
• Virtualisation ready: SR-IOV and VMDq let multiple VMs share the card with minimal overhead.
• Future-proof: Supports 100 M to 10 Gbps on the same ports, protecting your investment as needs grow.

Key Features of a 10Gbps Network Card

• Ports: 2 × 1/2.5/5/10GBase-T RJ-45. Provides flexible connectivity for a range of speeds.
• Data rate: 10 Gbps. Enables rapid data movement for demanding workloads.
• Interface: PCI Express 3.0 x8. Guarantees full bandwidth utilisation on modern servers.
• iWARP/RDMA: Kernel bypass, direct data placement and transport acceleration. Delivers ultra-low latency over Ethernet.
• DDIO Technology: Direct Data I/O to processor cache. Cuts latency and boosts I/O bandwidth.
• SR-IOV capable: Allows a single physical port to appear as multiple virtual functions for VMs.
• Flexible Port Partitioning: Divides bandwidth fairly among virtual functions, ensuring QoS.
• VMDq: Offloads VM switching to hardware, improving overall system throughput.
• Intelligent offloads: Handles common networking tasks in hardware, freeing CPU resources.
• Form factor: Low-profile plug-in card. Fits easily into compact server chassis.

Usages of a 10Gbps Network Card

This card is ideal for data-center servers, virtualization hosts, and high-performance computing clusters that demand fast, reliable Ethernet. It also suits enterprise storage arrays and network-intensive applications such as database replication, video streaming, and large-scale backups, where every millisecond counts.
