Product Overview

Intel continues its legacy of Ethernet leadership by introducing a 40 gigabit family of adapters powered by, the Intel® Ethernet XL710 Controller, codenamed Fortville.

The XL710 adapter family addresses the demanding needs of thenext-generation agile data center by providing unmatched features for both server and  network virtualization, flexibility for L AN and  SAN networks,and proven, reliable performance.

Leading 10/40 GbE Performance

Optimized performance vectors (and key uses) include:

• Small Packet Performance: Maintains wire-rate throughput on smaller payload sizes (>128 Bytes for 40 GbE and >64 Bytes for 10 GbE

• Bulk Transfer Performance: Delivers line-rate performance with low CPU usage for large application buffers

• Virtualized Performance: Alleviates hypervisor I/O bottlenecks by providing flow separation for Virtual Machines (VMs)

• Network Virtualization: Network virtualization overlay offloads including Geneve, VXLAN, and NVGRE

• Storage Performance: Enables competitive performance with native OS drivers and intelligent offload for NAS (NFS, SMB), and SAN (iSCSI and FCoE)

A Complete, Unified Networking Solution

Converging data and storage onto one fabric eliminates the need for multiple adapters, cables, and switches. Furthermore both 10 and 40 gigabit Ethernet provides the bandwidth to converge these multiple fabrics onto a single wire. A key capability that makes all this possible is traffic class  separation provided by Data Center Bridging (DCB)1—providing a one-wire solution with virtual pipes for the  different classes of traffic:

• Data: Best effort  delivery  of standard L AN traffic

• Storage: Losslessnetwork for FCoE and iSCSI

• Management: Guaranteed connectivity of data center

IP management

Power Savings

• Lowest Power Consumption

• Energy Efficient Ethernet  (EEE)

Server Virtualization

Intel VT include:

• VMDq for Emulated Path

• Virtualized Performance

• Storage Performance

• SR-IOV for Direct Assignment

Additionally,XL710 adapters provide Virtual Bridging1 support that delivers both host-side and switch-side control and management of virtualized I/O as well as the following modes of virtualized operation:

• VEPA1:IEEE 802.1Qbgsupport for Virtual EthernetPort Aggregator1

• VEB: Virtual Ethernet Bridge support via Intel VT

Network Virtualization

Network virtualization is the next big trend in creating an agile data center. The family of XL710 adapters are ready to help you take that next step.

• VXLAN, NVGRE, Geneve Offloads

At the same time XL710 offloads LSO, GSO, and checksumfrom the host software reducing CPU overhead.

Intelligent Offloads

• TCP Stateless Offloads

• Host iSCSI/FCoE Initiators

• Flow Classification
