The cards interact directly with the virtualization hypervisor software, offloading many of the interface tasks from the main CPU, thus increasing the overall performance of the virtual machine. The ANC10S Series 10 Gigabit adapter card improves performance with next- generation technology — VMware, Data Center Bridging, Direct Path, NetQueue — that includes features such as loopback (inter-VM communication), priority-weighted bandwidth management, and doubling the number of data queues per port from four to eight. Also supported are multicast and broadcast data on a virtualized server. Superior Functionality The ANC10S Series includes dedicated hardware and processors to process frames at the highest levels for both transmit and receive paths in the operating system — advantageous for virtualization applications. The ANC10S Series enables convergence of all networked communications possible in a server, such as data (LAN), storage networks (iSCSI), and clustering.
