iWARP/RDMA
iWARP delivers converged, low-latency fabric services to data centers through Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet. The key iWARP components that deliver low-latency are Kernel Bypass, Direct Data Placement, and Transport Acceleration.
MACsec IEEE 802.1 AE
802.1AE is the IEEE MAC Security (MACsec) standard which defines connectionless data confidentiality and integrity for media access independent protocols.
Intel® Data Direct I/O Technology
Intel® Data Direct I/O Technology is a platform technology that improves I/O data processing efficiency for data delivery and data consumption from I/O devices. With Intel DDIO, Intel® Server Adapters and controllers talk directly to the processor cache without a detour via system memory, reducing latency, increasing system I/O bandwidth, and reducing power consumption.
PCI-SIG* SR-IOV Capable
Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) involves natively (directly) sharing a single I/O resource between multiple virtual machines. SR-IOV provides a mechanism by which a Single Root Function (for example a single Ethernet Port) can appear to be multiple separate physical devices.
Intel® Ethernet Power Management
Intel® Ethernet Power Management Technology provides solutions to common power management approaches by reducing idle power, reducing capacity and power as a function of demand, operating at maximum energy efficiency whenever possible, and enabling functionality only when needed.
Fiber Channel over Ethernet
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is an encapsulation of Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks. This allows Fibre Channel to use 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks (or higher speeds) while preserving the Fibre Channel protocol.
IEEE 1588
IEEE 1588, also knows as the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a computer network. On a local area network it achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.
Flexible Port Partitioning
Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) technology utilizes industry standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently divide your physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices, providing Quality of Service by ensuring each process is assigned to a Virtual Function and is provided a fair share of the bandwidth.
Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq)
Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) is a technology designed to offload some of the switching done in the VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) to networking hardware specifically designed for this function. VMDq drastically reduces overhead associated with I/O switching in the VMM which greatly improves throughput and overall system performance More information: Network | Ethernet LAN data rates | 1000,2500,5000,10000 Mbit/s |  | Copper ethernet cabling technology | 10GBASE-T, 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T | | Network controller sideband interface (NC-SI) | Yes | Processor special features | Intel Flexible Port Partitioning | Yes | | Intel Ethernet Power Management | Yes | | Intel Data Direct I/O Technology | Yes | | Intel Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) | Yes | | Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity (VT-c) | Yes | Operational conditions | Maximum operating temperature | 55 °C | | Operating temperature (T-T) | 0 - 55 °C | Features | Lithography | 28 nm | | PCI-SIG* SR-IOV Capable | Yes | | Intelligent Offloads | Yes | | Package size | 17 x 17 mm | | Fiber Channel over Ethernet | Yes | | Jumbo frames support | Yes | | Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) | 5A992CN3 | | Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) | G054018 | | Thermal Design Power (TDP) | 11 W | | Compatible operating systems | FreeBSD 10.2, Linux RHEL 6.7, Linux RHEL 7.1, Linux SLES 11 SP4, Linux SLES 11 SP4-IA64, Linux SLES 12, Linux Stable Kernel version 2.6/3.x, Linux Stable Kernel version 4.x, UEFI 2.1, UEFI 2.3, UEFI 2.4, VMware ESXi 5.5/6.0, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2 Core, Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 Core, Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2 Core, Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V, WinPE 3.0 (2008 R2 PE), WinPE 4.0 (2012 PE), WinPE 5.0 (2012 R2 PE) | | Launch date | Q4'15 | | Storage Over Ethernet | iSCSI, FCoE, NFS | | Product codename | Sageville | | Status | Launched | | Product series | 500 Series Controllers (up to 10GbE) | Ports & interfaces | Host interface | PCI Express | | Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports | 2 | | PCI Express slots version | 3.0 | Logistics data | Harmonized System (HS) code | 8542310001 |
