Silicom PE310G4I71LB-XR Quad Port 10GbE SFP+ PCIe Server Network Adapter (Dell DTV7K OEM)

Product Description

The Silicom PE310G4I71LB-XR is built for demanding enterprise applications where network throughput, low latency, and reliability are essential. Based on Intel's highly respected XL710 Ethernet controller, this adapter provides four independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports capable of supporting both optical fiber transceivers and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables. Its PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface ensures maximum bandwidth between the network adapter and host server, eliminating bottlenecks in data-intensive environments. Advanced hardware acceleration features significantly reduce processor overhead by offloading checksum calculations, packet segmentation, and receive-side processing from the CPU. This enables servers to dedicate more processing power to applications rather than networking tasks. For virtualization environments, the adapter supports technologies such as SR-IOV, VMDq, VXLAN, and NVGRE, allowing virtual machines to communicate more efficiently with reduced latency and improved network isolation. Storage infrastructures also benefit from intelligent networking support, including optimized performance for NAS, iSCSI, SMB, NFS, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). Note that this adapter is an Ethernet NIC—it supports FCoE encapsulation but is not a native Fibre Channel HBA.
