Intel XL710-QSR1 1-Ports 40GB/s QSFP+ Network Adapter

Description

The Intel XL710-QSR1 is a high-performance Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to deliver 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) connectivity. This adapter features a single QSFP+ port, which is the standard interface for 40GbE, enabling high-density network connections and efficient use of rack space. The QSFP+ connector supports various cabling options, including direct attach copper (DAC) cables for short distances and optical transceivers for longer reach, providing flexibility in network design and deployment. Built upon the Intel XL710 controller, this NIC is engineered for demanding environments such as data centers, high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and cloud infrastructure. It utilizes a PCIe Gen3 x8 interface, providing a substantial bandwidth of up to 64 Gbps, which is more than sufficient to support the full throughput of a 40GbE connection. This ensures that data-intensive applications and high-volume network traffic can be handled without performance degradation. The adapter supports advanced networking features, including Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), which allows for low-latency, high-throughput data transfers by enabling direct memory access between servers, bypassing the CPU. This capability is critical for applications that require minimal latency and high I/O performance, such as distributed storage systems, real-time analytics, and large-scale data processing. The Intel XL710-QSR1 is a robust solution for organizations seeking to maximize their network performance and efficiency.
