Intel® 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors

Low-profile
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers

Load balancing on multiple CPUs
Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across
CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*

iSCSI remote boot support
Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than other iSCSI solutions

Support for most network operating systems (NOS)
Enables widespread deployment

RoHS-compliant2
Complies with the European Union directive 2002/95/EC to reduce the use of hazardous materials

Intel® PROSet utility for Microsoft Windows* Device Manager
Provides point-and-click management of individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection
teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration

Time Sync (IEEE 1588, 802.1as)
Lets networked Ethernet equipment synchronize internal clocks according to a network master clock;
endpoint can then acquire an accurate estimate of the master time by compensating for link latency
