10 GIGABIT SERVER ADAPTERS
Intel offers a broad line of 10GbE server adapters for
both copper and fiber networks. Intel’s new dual-port
10 Gigabit SFP+ Direct Attach adapter is the ideal
solution for low-power, intra-rack connectivity using an
SFP+ switch such as those in the Arista 7100 family.

processor, BIOS, Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) and, for some uses,
certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations
and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.
