The 40G Ethernet Controller for Virtualization

The S40G-i2Q/i1Q is an advanced, market-leading 40Gb Ethernet controller. It extends virtualization beyond the server level to the network level. This, combined with hardware optimizations and off-loads, allows these controllers to enable rapid network provisioning in an agile data center. For customers who require faster and more reliable networking equipment, the AOC-S40G-i2Q/i1Q are the best choices.
