Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E835-XXVDA2 - 2 porty - 25 Gigabit Ethernet - PCI Express 4.0 x8 - SFP28

The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter E835-XXVDA2 is a high-performance dual-port 25 Gigabit Ethernet network interface card designed for data centers and enterprise environments. It leverages PCI Express 4.0 x8 interface to deliver up to 50 Gbps aggregate bandwidth (25 Gbps per port bidirectional), ensuring low latency and high throughput for demanding workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and storage.

Advantages

With support for RDMA (RoCEv2 and iWARP), SR-IOV, and advanced virtualization offloads, this adapter reduces CPU overhead and improves application performance. It also features Intel Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function (ADQ) and Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) for optimized traffic handling. The included full-height and low-profile brackets ensure compatibility with various server chassis.
