X3110/X3120 - 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters
The X3110 single port and X3120 dual port adapters incorporate advanced stateless protocol offload features, and provide reliable, high performance networking and block storage connectivity for enterprise servers and storage platforms. The X3100 family “futureproofs” today’s enterprise data centre by delivering optimal efficiency and performance for a non-virtualized environment while providing an advanced, scalable architecture that enables easy migration to a fully virtualized environment without compromising performance and efficiency.
The X3100 family has the flexibility to run virtualized applications both in para-virtualized mode, which is optimized for a large number of virtual machines running non-I/O intensive applications, as well as Direct Access Mode, which provides the architectural enhancements to virtualize I/O intensive applications. The X3100 family has the flexibility to fully support both single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV), and multifunction mode, with each mode providing the same level of channel isolation and the performance delivered by dedicated hardware. Using IOQoS, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be configured and enforced in high performance virtualized environments, with the QoS prioritization and bandwidth allocation for each virtual interface provisioned on-demand to support changing workload requirements.
