Description
This is a Dell 540-10824 Internal Networking Adapter Card. It is a PCIe network interface card that is designed to be used with a Dell system. It is compatible with the following systems: PowerEdge 2970 Energy Smart FS / 2970 FS / R510 FS / R610 FS / R710 Rack / R715 / R810 Rack / R815 FS / R910 FS / T610 FS / T710 FS.
Dual Port X520 DA2 10 gigabit server adapter Ethernet PCIe network
interface card from Dell. Intel Virtualization Technology for
Connectivity (VT-c) is a suite of hardware assists that reduces I/O
bottlenecks in a virtualized server and improves performance,
flexibility and virtual machine scalability. Using emulation mode
or direct access mode, it improves overall system performance by
lowering the I/O overhead in a virtualized environment. This
optimizes CPU usage, reduces system latency, and improves I/O
throughput.
In emulation mode, Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) optimizes
network performance by offloading data sorting and copying from the
software virtual switch in the VMM to the Intel Ethernet 82599 10
Gb controller. This configuration is best suited for a large number
of VMs running standard applications with limited bandwidth and
latency requirements. In direct access mode, industry
standards-based SR-IOV provides direct VM connectivity and data
protection across VMs. It allows the data to bypass the software
virtual switch and provides near-native performance. It assigns
either physical or virtual I/O ports to individual VMs directly.
This product has been tested and validated on Dell systems. It is
supported by Dell Technical Support when used with a Dell
system.
