<b>Features and benefits</b>
-
<i>Intel® 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller</i>
Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors;
-
<i>Low-profile</i>
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers;
-
<i>Load balancing on multiple CPUs</i>
Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across
CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*;
-
<i>iSCSI remote boot support</i>
Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than other iSCSI solutions;
-
<i>Support for most network operating systems (NOS)</i>
Enables widespread deployment;
-
<i>RoHS-compliant2</i>
Complies with the European Union directive 2002/95/EC to reduce the use of hazardous materials;
-
<i>Intel® PROSet utility for Microsoft Windows* Device Manager</i>
Provides point-and-click management of individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection
teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration;
-
<i>Time Sync (IEEE 1588, 802.1as)</i>
Lets networked Ethernet equipment synchronize internal clocks according to a network master clock;
endpoint can then acquire an accurate estimate of the master time by compensating for link latency;
