Intel E810-XXVDA4 10 / 25 GbE PCIe 4.0 SFP28 Network Add-in Card

Dell Intel E810-XXVDA4 Network Card

The Dell Intel E810-XXVDA4 is a high-performance quad-port network interface card designed for demanding enterprise, cloud and data centre networking workloads that need scalable multi-gigabit connectivity. This adapter features four SFP28 ports capable of operating at 25GbE and 10GbE speeds per port, giving up to 100 Gb/s aggregated bandwidth to handle heavy network traffic and latency-sensitive applications. Built on the Intel Ethernet Controller E810, the card connects via a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface for high throughput and low latency, and supports advanced technologies such as RDMA (iWARP and RoCEv2), Application Device Queues (ADQ) and Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) to optimise packet processing and offload workloads from the host CPU. With robust support for Ethernet protocols like iSCSI and NFS, this Dell-branded adapter is suitable for server, virtualisation and storage networking environments where reliable, high-speed wired connections are essential.

Enterprise-Grade 10 / 25GbE Connectivity

The Dell Intel E810-XXVDA4 delivers four 10GbE / 25GbE SFP28 ports, allowing flexible deployment with either 25GbE or 10GbE links per port according to the needs of your network infrastructure. These SFP28 interfaces support direct attach copper (DAC), active optical cables (AOC) and compatible optics to tailor link spans from short-range to extended reach. The multi-port design enables high port density in a single PCIe card, reducing the number of adapters required for bandwidth-intensive applications such as virtualisation, large-scale storage and high-performance computing.

High-Performance Architecture and Offload Features

Powered by the Intel Ethernet Controller E810, this NIC uses the PCIe 4.0 x16 bus to deliver maximum throughput and efficient data movement between the server and network. Support for Intel Virtualisation Technology for Connectivity (VT-c), SR-IOV, VMDq and advanced offloads such as Intel Data Direct I/O help improve application performance by reducing CPU overhead and enabling more efficient packet handling. Technologies like RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) and iWARP provide low-latency data transfers ideal for storage networks and cloud workloads, while Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Application Device Queues (ADQ) deliver enhanced timing and traffic prioritisation for critical tasks.

Broad Compatibility and System Integration

Designed for server and workstation platforms that offer a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, the E810-XXVDA4 is compatible with a wide range of systems that require high-speed network connectivity. Its full-height form factor ensures easy installation in standard server chassis. Built-in Ethernet features such as iSCSI boot, VLAN tagging, RSS, SR-IOV and QoS support ensure seamless integration with existing enterprise networking and storage infrastructures, enabling flexible deployment in data centres and cloud environments.
