Ethernet Adapter HPE Intel X710-DA2 10Gb 2-port SFP+

The HPE Intel X710-DA2 10Gb 2-port SFP+ Ethernet Adapter provides dual SFP+ ports for 10 Gigabit connectivity and is designed for use with HPE Gen10 Plus servers in data centers and enterprise networks. With a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s over a PCI Express host interface, this wired Ethernet/fiber adapter supports high-throughput, low-latency workloads and integrates into HPE server and networking ecosystems.

Advantages

The adapter delivers improved network performance for bandwidth- and latency-sensitive applications while reducing CPU utilization through support for I/O offloads such as RDMA and tunneling. It is built to integrate with HPE Gen10 Plus platforms and to work within an end-to-end HPE ecosystem of servers, transceivers, cables and switches. Firmware authenticity checks and a root-of-trust architecture help protect against unauthorized firmware and improve reliability and security.

Suitable for

• Data center servers requiring 10Gb SFP+ connectivity
• Enterprise networking for virtualization and storage traffic
• Low-latency applications and high-throughput workloads
• HPE Gen10 Plus server environments and hybrid cloud deployments
