Delivers
increased performance while significantly
reducing CPU utilization |
| Advanced
cable diagnostics |
Dynamically
tests and reports network problems (interrupts,
error rate, cable length) and automatically
compensates for cable issues (cross-over
cable, wrong pin-out/polarity) |
| Expanded
advanced server features |
Intel®
Advanced Networking Services (ANS) software
increases uptime with redundant, teamed
connections and scales bandwidth by balancing
network traffic across multiple server
connections. Now offers Switch Fault Tolerance
and Test Switch Configuration to test
compatibility and further increase uptime |
