Intel 0FTKMT-HP X520-DA2 2 x Ports SFP+ 10GbE PCI Express Network Adapter Card

Product Description

The Intel 0FTKMT-HP network adapter card is built around the robust Intel X520-DA2 controller, offering dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports. These ports utilize the SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) form factor, which allows for flexible connectivity options using either direct attach copper cables or optical transceivers, catering to various network distances and requirements. This dual-port configuration provides increased bandwidth, redundancy, or the ability to connect to multiple network segments, enhancing network resilience and performance. Integrated into a PCI Express interface, this adapter ensures high-speed communication with the host system, enabling efficient data transfer for demanding applications. The X520-DA2 chipset is recognized for its advanced features, including support for virtualization technologies, iSCSI, and FCoE, which are crucial for modern data centers and server environments. These offload capabilities help reduce CPU utilization, leading to improved server performance and efficiency. This adapter is commonly found in HP server solutions, providing essential high-speed networking capabilities for enterprise workloads such as virtualization, storage area networks (SANs), and high-performance computing. The combination of Intel's proven technology and HP's integration ensures a reliable and high-performing networking solution for critical business operations.
