Introduction

The Intel X710 family of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) server network adapters addresses the demanding needs of the next-generation data center. By providing unmatched features for server and network virtualization, small packet performance, and low power; the data center network is flexible, scalable, and resilient.

The X710 is available in three host connections: a standard PCIe host interface, a Mezzanine LOM (ML2) host interface for ThinkSystem and System x servers, and an AnyFabric host interface for ThinkServer systems.
