IWARP/RDMA
iWARP provides converged fabric services with low latency for data centers using Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet. The key components of iWARP that ensure low latency are Kernel Bypass, Direct Data Placement, and Transport Acceleration.

Suitable for PCI-SIG SR-IOV
Single Root I/O Virtualization allows for the native (direct) sharing of a single I/O resource among multiple virtual machines. Single Root I/O Virtualization provides a mechanism through which a single root function (for example, a single Ethernet port) can be presented as multiple separate physical devices.

Intel Ethernet Power Management
The Intel Ethernet Power Management technology includes solutions for traditional power management approaches by reducing idle power consumption, lowering capacity and power usage as a demand-based function, operating at maximum energy efficiency whenever possible, and activating the function only when needed.

Flexible Port Partitioning
The Flexible Port Partitioning technology utilizes the industry-standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently partition the physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices and offers Quality of Service by ensuring that each process is assigned to a virtual function and receives an appropriate share of the bandwidth.

Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq)
Virtual Machine Device Queues is a technique for offloading some switching operations from the virtual machine monitor to network hardware specifically designed for this function. Virtual Machine Device Queues drastically reduces the operational costs associated with I/O switching within the virtual machine monitor, significantly increasing throughput and overall system performance.
