Intel's X520 adapter is known for its high performance, low latency, reliability, and flexibility. The addition of the Intel Ethernet Server Bypass Adapter X520-SR2 delivers all of the 10GbE performance in addition to business continuity in the event of a network failure. The bypass capability removes a single point of failure so that essential business communication can continue while a system failure is diagnosed and resolved. In the event of a power, hardware, or software failure, bypass will automatically activate, allowing network traffic to continue.
The Intel Ethernet Server Bypass Adapter X520-SR2 is a dual-port 10GbE bypass adapter. This adapter is designed for 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors. PCIe v2.0 (5 GT/s) support enables customers to take full advantage of 10GbE by providing maximum of 20 Gbps bi-directional throughput per port on an individual dual-port card.
