Intel PCIe 3.0 x8 - 25 Gigabit SFP28 x 2 Network Adapter

The Intel XXV710DA2OCP1 is a dual-port network adapter that gives any compatible server two lanes of 25-gigabit Ethernet bandwidth over a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot. Each SFP28 port can move data at up to 25 gigabits per second, helping storage traffic, east-west application communication, and backup jobs finish sooner.

Flexibility is built into the design. The adapter accepts either SFP28 direct-attach copper cables or SR optical transceivers, so you can match the medium to your rack layout and budget without swapping hardware. On-chip quality of service and traffic management features keep critical packets flowing even when the link is busy.

Virtualization support is another key strength. Intel virtualization technology, along with PCI-SIG SR-IOV, allows multiple virtual machines to share the adapter while still enjoying near-native throughput and latency. If your environment relies on storage protocols such as iSCSI or NFS, the adapter handles them natively to simplify network design.

Whether you are building a cloud cluster, expanding an enterprise data center, or upgrading a test lab that needs more bandwidth, this adapter slots neatly into a standard PCIe riser and starts working without drama. Administrators who manage hyper-converged nodes, high-performance computing workloads, or dense VM farms will find that it delivers the speed and efficiency required to keep services responsive and users satisfied.
