Intel X710-DA2 Dual-Port 10GbE SFP+ PCIe 3.0 Ethernet Network Adapter

The Intel X710-DA2 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network adapter based on the Intel XL710 controller, delivering line-rate 10GbE performance over SFP+ optics. Designed for PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, it provides enterprise-grade connectivity with support for advanced virtualization features including Intel Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), SR-IOV, and VMDq for server environments requiring high-throughput, low-latency network I/O.

The adapter supports both direct-attach copper (DAC) and optical SFP+ transceiver connectivity, offering flexibility for data center infrastructure spanning short-reach inter-rack and long-distance campus or remote connectivity. Native support for VLAN, flow director, and QoS capabilities enables fine-grained traffic management and workload prioritization across consolidated server platforms.

Wide adoption across on-premises data centers reflects its maturity, driver stability across Linux and Windows Server environments, and seamless integration with hypervisors including VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM. The X710-DA2 remains the reference standard for modernizing legacy 1GbE infrastructure and supporting bandwidth-intensive workloads in mid-market and large-scale deployments.

Ideal for

• Server virtualization platform refresh: vSphere and Hyper-V host connectivity supporting multiple guest VMs with SR-IOV pass-through
• Storage area network (SAN) iSCSI/NFS acceleration: improving throughput and reducing latency for block and file storage traffic
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters: interconnect fabric for MPI workloads and parallel computing applications
• Database and enterprise data warehouse consolidation: supporting real-time analytics and OLTP with redundant dual-port failover
• Hospital IT infrastructure: reliable network backbone for PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) and EHR systems
• University research networks and data centers: supporting media streaming, scientific data transfer, and campus backbone connectivity
