Product Description
The Intel X520LR2BPL is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to meet the demanding bandwidth and latency requirements of modern servers and data centers. Built around the robust Intel X520-DA2 controller, this adapter provides two 10GbE interfaces, each equipped with an SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) cage. This allows for flexible connectivity options, enabling administrators to choose the appropriate optical transceivers (such as short-range SR or long-range LR) based on their specific network infrastructure needs. Connectivity to the host system is established via a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, ensuring ample bandwidth to support the full 10Gbps throughput of both ports simultaneously. The X520LR2BPL supports a comprehensive suite of advanced networking features crucial for enterprise environments. These include hardware acceleration for iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), which offload storage traffic processing from the CPU, thereby improving server performance. It also supports features like VLAN tagging for network segmentation, adapter teaming for redundancy and increased throughput, and load balancing to distribute network traffic efficiently. This network adapter is engineered for reliability and performance in mission-critical applications. It is compatible with a wide range of server operating systems, including various versions of Windows Server, Linux distributions, and VMware ESXi. The inclusion of both standard height and low-profile brackets ensures compatibility with different server chassis types, from rack-mount servers to blade systems. The Intel X520LR2BPL is an excellent choice for applications requiring high-speed, low-latency network access, such as virtualization, high-performance computing, and storage networking.
