Growing core counts and raw
processor performance demand
the ability to move massive
amounts of data over the network,
and high levels of bandwidth are
needed to avoid I/O bottlenecks.
Intel® Ethernet 10 Gigabit Server
Adapters handle that requirement
while cutting down port count
and complexity, compared to older
Gigabit Ethernet networking,
together with the industry-leading
dependability that comes from
working with trusted, proven
solutions from Intel.
