[. . . ] Product Brief Intel® 10 Gigabit AT2 Server Adapter Network Connectivity Intel® 10 Gigabit AT2 Server Adapter 10 Gigabit BASE-T Ethernet Server Adapters Designed for Multi-Core Processors and Optimized for Virtualization 10 Gigabit Performance at the Low Cost of Copper This 10 Gigabit AT2 Ethernet Server Adapter showcases Intel's second-generation standards-based 10GBASE-T adapter in a low-profile PCI Express* form factor. It provides bandwidthintensive applications highly affordable 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network performance with cost-effective RJ-45 connections for distances up to 100 meters. [. . . ] Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server slots while adding 10 Gigabit Ethernet capability with the Intel 10 Gigabit AT2 Server Adapter. The dedicated input/output (I/O) bandwidth of PCIe ensures priority performance on each port -- without bus sharing -- for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, as well as a low-profile design, which improves server throughput and rack density at the same time. In addition, eight-lane PCIe enables maximum bandwidth for fast and efficient data transfer. Performance-Enhancing Features for Multi-Core Environments When implemented within multi-core processor environments, the Intel 10 Gigabit AT2 Server Adapter offers advanced networking features, Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT), for efficient distribution of Ethernet workloads across CPU cores. Load balancing of interrupts using Advances for Storage Over Ethernet The fast growth in storage capacity coupled with server virtualization has brought the need for Storage Area Network (SAN) to the forefront. To satisfy this growing demand, Intel 10 Gigabit AT2 Server Adapters support iSCSI acceleration through Intel I/OAT and provide advanced features for unified networking. Fast and reliable networked storage can be achieved via native iSCSI support with Microsoft, Linux, * and VMware operating systems as well as support for iSCSI remote boot.
