• Great choice for virtualization
  Adapter X520 addresses networking bottlenecks in virtualized environments. These adapters enable network-intensive applications to achieve the performance expected in a virtualized environment. The Intel Ethernet X520 family of adapters provides the best networking performance available in the industry, whether the physical port is configured in an emulation mode using the virtual switch in the Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), or is directly assigned to a
  virtual machine.
• Unified networking and storage
  The family of Intel Ethernet X520 adapters lowers your data center total cost of ownership (TCO) by providing the ability to route LAN and SAN traffic over a single fabric.
• Support for fiber channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
  The X520 adapters offer FCoE hardware acceleration to provide performance comparable to FC HBAs. The adapters support Data Center Bridging, also known as Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), which enables customers to configure traffic classes and priorities to deliver a lossless Ethernet fabric. An Intel Ethernet Converged network adapter X520 reduces TCO by eliminating redundant fabrics and saves the cost of expensive FC HBAs and FC switch ports.
• Reliable performance
  The family of X520 adapters includes a number of advanced features that enable it to provide industry-leading performance and reliability.

ThinkServer always meets the demand on performance enhancement and feature enablement by continuous improvement on products and options. Upgrading your systems with the new options will bring you great values with flexibility, scalability, field-proven reliability.
