Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E810-CQDA2 - Network Interface Card

The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E810-CQDA2 is designed for server environments. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface to provide the bandwidth required for data center workloads. The adapter supports data transfer rates of up to 100,000 Mbit/s and uses two QSFP28 ports to connect to switches and other network infrastructure. System administrators can use this card to establish high-capacity network links.

The E810 controller handles traffic routing. The hardware supports various cabling, including Direct Attach Copper (DAC), optical modules, and active optical cables (AOCs). The adapter works with both copper and fibre-optic media to integrate into existing rack configurations. Installation requires either a low-profile or full-height bracket, depending on the server chassis. The adapter includes native support for iSCSI and NFS protocols over Ethernet to assist with storage deployments.

• Two QSFP28 fibre-optic ports for redundant or aggregated server links
• Multi-speed Ethernet support for 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, or 100,000 Mbit/s connections
• iWARP RDMA for low-latency direct memory access
• PCI-SIG SR-IOV for hardware virtualization and resource sharing
• Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c) to improve network virtualization performance
