Support for iSCSI
Intel® Ethernet server adapters with native iSCSI initiators built
into Microsoft® Windows®, Linux®, and VMware® ESX platforms
provide a simple, dependable, cost-effective way to connect
to LANs and iSCSI SANs. These native initiators are broadly
tested using multiple generations of operating systems, storage
systems, and OS tools to help ensure reliability and ease of use.
Standardizing on Intel Ethernet server adapters for iSCSI allows
administrators to use a single initiator, TCP/IP stack, and set of
management tools and IT policies. In addition, the I340 server
adapter includes a number of hardware features designed to
accelerate iSCSI traffic and enhance data processing. For example,
TCP segmentation offload, Receive side coalescing (RSC), and
checksum offload capabilities help reduce processor utilization,
increase throughput, and deliver exceptional iSCSI performance.
The adapters are designed to flexibly scale workloads across
multi-core processor–based systems. Finally, using native OS
initiators, an Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter enables support
for the CRC-32 digest instruction set included in the Intel® Xeon®
processor 5500 series, which improves transmission reliablity and
thus delivers an enterprise class iSCSI solution for the IT customer.

Optimized for Virtualization
The Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter showcases a suite of
hardware assists that improves overall system performance
by lowering the I/O overhead in a virtualized environment. This
optimizes CPU usage, reduces system latency, and improves I/O
throughput. These features include:

• Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq)
• Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT)
Use of multi-port adapters in a virtualized environment is very
important because of the need to provide redundancy and
data connectivity for the applications/workloads in the virtual
machines. Due to the need for redundancy and data connectivity,
it is recommended that a virtualized physical server needs at least
six GbE ports to satisfy the I/O requirement demands..

Virtual Machine Device queues (VMDq)
VMDq reduces I/O overhead on the hypervisor in a virtualized
server by performing data sorting and coalescing in the network
silicon. VMDq technology makes use of multiple queues in the
network controller. As data packets enter the network adapter,
they are sorted, and packets traveling to the same destination
(or virtual machine) get grouped together in a single queue. The
packets are then sent to the hypervisor, which directs them to
their respective virtual machines. Relieving the hypervisor of
packet filtering and sorting improves overall CPU usage and
throughput levels.
