Product details
The Flexible Port Partitioning technology utilizes the industry standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently divide the physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices and provides Quality of Service by ensuring that each process is assigned to a virtual function and receives an appropriate share of the bandwidth.
Virtual Machine Device Queues is a technique for offloading some switching operations from the virtual machine monitor to network hardware specifically designed for this purpose. Virtual Machine Device Queues drastically reduces the operating costs associated with I/O switching within the virtual machine monitor, significantly increasing throughput and overall system performance.
The Intel Data Direct I/O technology is a platform technology aimed at improving the efficiency of I/O data processing for the delivery and utilization of I/O devices. With Intel Data Direct I/O technology, Intel server adapters communicate directly with the processor cache, bypassing system memory, which reduces latency, increases system I/O bandwidth, and lowers power consumption.
