The SKU:0DDJKY is a Dell part number and will refer to a Dell Intel X710-DA4 Quad-Port 10Gb SFP+ PCIe Network Adapter; a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed for demanding server and data center environments.
The adapter requires an available PCIe 3.0 (or newer) x8 slot (physical or electrical) and since it is a quad-port 10Gb adapter, it needs the bandwidth of an x8 slot to function optimally.
As a Dell-branded replacement part / option, it is optimized and validated for Dell servers and may require the server's BIOS and NIC firmware to be up-to-date for proper recognition and function.
These Converged cards are part of the Intel Ethernet 700 Series, which includes advanced features (and Offloads) for virtualization and network performance:-
- ::Virtualization Technology (VT-c): Includes support for features like Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and PCI-SIG Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). This allows for adapter-based isolation and switching, improving performance and reducing CPU utilization in virtualized environments.
- ::Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP): Enables dynamic partitioning of the single 10Gb port into multiple dedicated network resources (Virtual Functions or VFs), providing granular bandwidth allocation and QoS (Quality of Service).
- ::Network Virtualization Offloads (NVO): Provides hardware offloads for tunneling protocols like VXLAN, GENEVE, and NVGRE, which is crucial for modern cloud and data center networks using network overlays.
- ::Storage Over Ethernet: Supports offloads for iSCSI and NFS, enabling high-performance storage networking.
- ::Intel Ethernet Flow Director: An advanced traffic steering capability that directs packets to specific queues and CPU cores for improved load balancing and reduced latency.
-
These adapters are therefore commonly used in the above Dell PowerEdge servers to provide high-bandwidth connectivity for applications, storage, and server virtualization.
