Intel E610-IT4 Ethernet Network Adapters for OCP 3.0

Intel® E610-IT4 Ethernet Network Adapters for OCP 3.0 are high-performance, quad-port adapters designed to meet the demanding needs of modern data centers and enterprise networking environments. Built on the Intel E610-IAT2 Ethernet Controller, the E610-IT4 supports up to four 10GbE ports and is optimized for high throughput, low latency, and advanced networking features such as Application Device Queues (ADQ), Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP), and support for NVMe over TCP. These E610-IT4 adapters are compliant with the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 specification, ensuring compatibility with next-generation server platforms. These Ethernet network adapters also feature robust thermal management, enhanced security capabilities including Intel Platform Firmware Resilience (PFR), and broad OS and virtualization support, making these devices a versatile and future-ready solution for scalable network infrastructures.
