ProductBrief

Dual and quad-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters for

OCP NIC 3.0

Intel® Ethernet Network

Adapter X710-DA2/-DA4

for OCP 3.0

Overview

The Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter X710-DA2 and -DA4 for OCP 3.0

are part of the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series, the foundation for server

connectivity; providing broad interoperability, critical performance

optimizations, and increased agility for Communications, Cloud, and

Enterprise IT network solutions.

• Interoperability - Multiple speeds and media types for broad

compatibility backed by extensive testing and validation.

• Optimization - Intelligent offloads and accelerators to unlock

network performance in servers with Intel® Xeon® processors.

• Agility - Both Kernel and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) drivers

for scalable packet processing.

The OCP NIC 3.0 specification defines a standardized design for a new

generation of network adapters. Simple and straightforward form

factors, clear manageability requirements, and improved serviceability

help simplify deployment for current and emerging capabilities.

The Intel® Ethernet 700 Series delivers networking performance across

a wide range of network port speeds through intelligent offloads,

sophisticated packet processing, and quality open source drivers.
