Overview
Get fast, high-bandwidth connectivity with this dual-port QSFP+ Network Interface Card. It adds two open QSFP+ slots to your server or workstation. The 40G NIC features an Intel® controller and provides redundant network links with reliable performance. It’s ideal for high-demand database servers, virtualized servers and agile data centers that require infrastructure updates with no downtime.
Increase your network speed
This dual port QSFP+ server NIC card lets you take advantage of the speed and stability of a 40 Gigabit network, with data transfers of up to 40Gbps.
Add redundant connections in zero-downtime environments
With two QSFP+ ports, the PCIe NIC helps to prevent network downtime by adding fault-tolerant connections using two modules, to provide high-bandwidth network links to your mission-critical servers or workstations.
Add scalable network connections
With its open QSFP+ slots, the network interface card supports QSFP+ transceiver modules and is compatible with multimode and single-mode fiber, providing a scalable networking solution.
Enhance your network capabilities
The 40G NIC uses an Intel XL710 chipset providing reliable connectivity and convergent network features. It offers many advanced features including Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity.
The PEX40GQSFDPI is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Applications
Add ultra-fast 40Gbps network connectivity to database, file or application servers and high-performance workstations
Transmit full 40Gpbs network speeds to a remote terminal over longer distance than copper cabling
Ideal for agile and high-demand data centers that require data security, no downtime, and infrastructure updates
Supports secure setups - a direct fiber connection means no electronic interference, which can be a problem with RJ45 network cards
Create a video/audio editing console with 40Gbps access to network storage
Ideal for remote embedded industrial monitoring system, and high-speed video surveillance
