Qnap QXG-10G2SF-X710 Dual-Port 10GbE Network Cards Supporting SR-IOV for Boosting VMware Applications

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the QXG-10G2SF-X710 10GbE network expansion card.

Equipped with the Intel Ethernet Controller X710-BM2, this PCIe Gen 3 card (compatible with PCIe Gen 2) can be installed into a company’s NAS or Windows/Linux PC, augmenting connectivity with 2x10GbE ports.

Featuring a low-noise fanless design, the card comes with 2x10GbE SFP+ (10G/1G) network ports. Users can utilize SMB multichannel or port trunking to combine bandwidth, providing up to 20Gb/s of data transfer potential, thereby accelerating large file sharing and intensive data transmission.

The product also supports SR-IOV that enhances network resource allocation for VMware virtualization applications, reducing network bandwidth consumption and lowering CPU usage for VM servers (hypervisors).

The company offers a range of 10GbE solutions, with the QXG-10G2SF-X710 network expansion card compatible with various firm’s 10GbE NAS and switches. This cost-effective solution creates a smooth, secure, and scalable high-speed network environment, catering to the needs of teams requiring simultaneous data access, photographers/videographers in need of fast file transfers, and virtualization applications that require low latency.

When installing the QXG-10G2SF-X710 in a computer, users must download Windows/Linux drivers from the official Intel corp. website.

The company’s NICs are available at the firm’s Accessories Store.
