Intel XXV710DA2OCP1

Overview

The Intel XXV710DA2OCP1 is a dual-port network adapter designed to deliver high-speed connectivity for servers requiring robust data transfer capabilities. It provides two 25-gigabit Ethernet lanes via a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, enabling up to 50 Gbps aggregate throughput. This adapter is ideal for accelerating storage traffic, east-west application communication, and backup operations in demanding data center environments.

Key features

• Two independent 25 GbE SFP28 ports that support both direct-attach copper cables and SR optical transceivers, offering flexibility in cabling and deployment.
• PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface ensures sufficient bandwidth to fully utilize each port’s 25 Gbps speed without bottlenecks.
• Intel virtualization technology combined with PCI-SIG SR-IOV enables multiple virtual machines to share the adapter efficiently while maintaining near-native throughput and low latency.
• Native support for storage protocols like iSCSI and NFS simplifies network design and optimizes storage traffic handling.
• On-chip quality of service and traffic management features prioritize critical packets to maintain consistent network performance even under heavy load.
• Designed to meet the needs of cloud clusters, enterprise data centers, and high-performance computing setups requiring reliable, low-latency connectivity.

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter fits into a standard PCIe 3.0 x8 slot, making it compatible with a wide range of server platforms that support this interface. The dual SFP28 ports accept both direct-attach copper cables and SR optical transceivers, allowing you to tailor your network setup based on distance requirements and budget constraints. Its native handling of iSCSI and NFS protocols ensures seamless integration with storage networks commonly used in enterprise environments.

Performance and reliability

With built-in quality of service and traffic management, the adapter maintains steady performance by prioritizing essential data packets during peak network activity. The virtualization features allow dense VM deployments without sacrificing throughput or latency, making it a strong choice for hyper-converged infrastructure and high-density server farms. Its design supports demanding workloads, ensuring that critical services remain responsive and efficient.

Ideal uses and environments

This network adapter is well suited to cloud service providers, enterprise data centers, and test labs that require high bandwidth and low latency connections. It supports storage-heavy applications and east-west traffic patterns common in virtualized and hyper-converged environments. IT administrators managing clusters, HPC workloads, or dense virtual machine farms will find this adapter meets the performance and flexibility demands of modern data center networks.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
