Dell® 540-BBVP alternative Intel X710 NIC PCIe 3.0 x8 Quad Port 10GbE RJ45

PCIe x8 540-BBVP Quad-Port 10G Converged adaptor 710 series implements a PCIe v3.0 x8 host interface, which operates at up to 8GT/S or 64Gb/s. It provides complete support for four 10Gb/s ports and performs all functions required for transmission and reception as specified in IEEE standards. By providing unmatched features for server and network virtualization, small packet performance, and low power, it allows data centres to be flexible, scalable, and resilient.
