Intel I350 GbE Network

Adapter Family for

IBM System x

Intel delivers advanced power savings and flexible I/O virtualization

The Intel I350 GbE Network Adapter Family for IBM® System x® features a robust, standards-based portfolio that delivers economical

Ethernet features in an industry-standard PCIe form factor , and an

IBM ML2 form factor. The IBM ML2 Network Adapter is placed into a

ML2 slot on equipped IBM System x servers, enabling you to preserve your PCIe slots for other purposes. The IBM ML2 Adapter also enables the IBM System x server’s management traffic to be combined with the application traffic. By merging this traffic onto a single port, your cabling and switching costs are greatly reduced.

Virtualization, cloud computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and clustering initiatives are increasing workload demands. The Intel

I350 GbE Network Adapter is the solution of choice for workload- intensive computing environments.
