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.
