The dual port QXG-10G2T-X710 is a PCIe Gen 3 (compatible with PCIe Gen 2)10 Gb E network expansion card with an Intel Ethernet Controller X710 & supports up to five speeds (10G / 5G / 2.5G / 1G / 100M). By using Port Trunking, both ports can be combined to achieve up to 20 Gbps transfer speeds for accelerating file sharing & intensive data transfer. With SR-IOV & i SCSI support, the QXG-10G2T-X710 greatly boosts network efficiency & is ideal for I/O-intensive & latency-sensitive virtualization applications & data centers. Build a 10 Gb E network environment The QXG-10G2T-X710 can be used with QNAP's 10 Gb E switches, such as the QSW-M2108-2C or QSW-1208-8C, for you to build a budget-friendly high-speed network environment. Supports SR-IOV & i SCSI, achieve the best virtualization environment The QXG-10G2T-X710 supports SR-IOV, which can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. It ensures reliable VM applications & reduced CPU overheads. The QXG-10G2T-X710 also supports i SCSI, which enables computers, servers, or virtual machines to use storage from your QNAP NAS as virtual disks. You can partition, format, and use these virtual disks exactly like local disks, or even use them for storage expansion or as backup destinations. Supports Windows & Linux servers/workstations Besides QNAP devices, the QXG-10G2T-X710 supports Windows 10, Windows Server, and Linux (driver required), allowing you to attain optimal business performance for a wider range of system applications & services.
