Supermicro AOC-AG-i4M Network Adapter - Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) - 4 x Gigabit Ethernet

The Supermicro AOC-AG-i4M is a high-performance network adapter designed as an Advanced I/O Module (AIOM) for Supermicro servers and motherboards. It provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports powered by the Intel I350-AM4 controller, delivering reliable and efficient wired connectivity for enterprise data centers and cloud environments.

Advantages

This adapter offers exceptional value with its quad-port design, enabling high-density network connections in a compact AIOM form factor. It supports advanced features such as VLAN tagging, link aggregation, jumbo frames up to 9.5 KB, and iSCSI acceleration, enhancing network flexibility and performance. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) reduces power consumption during low traffic, while Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-c) optimizes virtualized environments.

Suitable for

• Supermicro servers with AIOM slots
• Enterprise data centers requiring high port density
• Virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM)
• Network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SAN)
• Cloud computing and edge computing deployments
