Why choose it

The Intel I350-T4 chipset provides hardware offloads and virtualization support, reducing CPU overhead and improving throughput in virtualized environments. Four independent Gigabit ports allow flexible network segmentation, link aggregation, or failover configurations without occupying multiple PCIe slots.

Ideal use cases

• Virtualized server hosts requiring multiple dedicated NICs for VMs
• Network appliances and firewalls needing multiple copper ports
• Storage servers using iSCSI or NFS over dedicated links
• High-availability clusters with redundant network paths

Good to know

The adapter includes both full-height and low-profile brackets, making it suitable for 2U and 4U servers as well as compact workstations. It supports PXE boot and Intel's advanced virtualization features for efficient network I/O in demanding environments.
