Support for technologies such as multiple queues, receive-side scaling, multiple MSI-X vectors, and Low Latency Interrupts allow the The server adapter to provide high-performance connectivity in multi-core server blades. These technologies distribute network processing across multiple CPU cores, improving overall performance.

The explosive growth in virtualization is leading to an increasing demand for network performance. With more Virtual Machines (VMs) running on each multi-core server, networking traffic isdramatically increased with each VM competing for available I/O bandwidth.

The  Server Adapters with connectivity are the most flexible and scalable ethernet adapters to meet the demands of today's data center environments. Data center networks are being pushed to their limits. The escalating deployments of servers with multi-core processors and demanding applications such as High Performance Computing (HPC), database clusters, and video-on-demand are driving the need for  connections. Customers require flexible and scalable I/O solutions to meet the rigorous requirements of running mission-critical applications in virtualized and unified storage environments.
