Intel X550T2 X550-T2 Ethernet Converged Low Profile Network Adapter - Multi-Colour

Product Description Intel X550T2 X550-T2 Ethernet converged low profile network adapter, PCIe 3, 10Gb Ethernet x 2 is a low-cost way to deploy 10 GbE in your Datacentre. The Intel X550 uses low-cost Cat6 and Cat6a cabling. Chances are this cabling already exists in the Datacentre. A way for Intel to reduce cost and power is to integrate components into a single-chip solution. Why is integration important? First, integration translates to lower power. This means no active heat sink and reduces the per-port power consumption. Second, integration also means a lower cost per port, because two separate components are not needed. When cabling is accounted for, cost efficiencies realized from a single part mean 10GBASE-T is low-cost media to deploy. With lower cost and power,10GBASE-T is ideal for broad deployment. 10GBASE-T is a solution for every rack and tower server in the Datacentre. Converging data and storage onto one fabric eliminates the need for multiple adapters and cables per server. Furthermore,10 GbE provides the bandwidth to converge these multiple fabrics into a single wire. A key capability that makes all this possible is traffic class separation provided by Data Centre Bridging (DCB). DCB provides a collection of standards for additional QoS functionality such as lossless delivery, congestion notification, priority-based flow control, and priority groups. This enables the CNA X550 family to provide a one-wire solution with virtual pipes for the different classes of traffic.
