Network card INTEL E830XXVDA2OC3M up to 25Gb 2 x SFP28

Intel E830XXVDA2OC3M is a dual‑port network card supporting up to 25Gb speeds via two SFP28 interfaces. Designed for server and high‑performance workstation environments, the adapter delivers dual 25Gb connectivity suitable for uplinks, storage networks and virtualized infrastructures. The module focuses on increased bandwidth and low latency to accelerate data transfer and support network consolidation in dense computing deployments.

Advantages

The card provides two SFP28 ports for flexible fiber or direct‑attach cabling and supports up to 25Gb per port to meet higher throughput requirements. Its design is optimized for use in server-class systems, offering a compact, low-profile footprint and compatibility with common operating systems and driver stacks. The dual‑port layout enables link aggregation and redundancy, while hardware features reduce CPU overhead for network processing, improving overall system efficiency.

Suitable for

• Server uplinks and top‑of‑rack connections requiring 25Gb bandwidth
• High‑performance storage networks (NVMe‑oF, iSCSI) needing low latency
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure with multiple tenant traffic
• Data center aggregation and network consolidation scenarios

Key specifications

• Interface: 2 × SFP28 ports supporting 25Gb speeds
• Max link speed: up to 25 Gigabits per second per port
• Form factor: add‑in network adapter for server/workstation PCIe slot
• Optimized for low latency and high throughput traffic
• Supports link aggregation and redundancy configurations

How to use

Install the Intel E830XXVDA2OC3M into an appropriate PCIe slot following the server or workstation manufacturer’s instructions. Connect compatible SFP28 transceivers or direct‑attach cables to the two SFP28 ports and configure link settings in the host operating system or network management software. Enable appropriate drivers supplied by Intel and set up networking features such as MTU size, VLANs, and link aggregation according to your environment to achieve optimal performance.

Usage recommendations

Use verified SFP28 transceivers or direct‑attach cables that match the required reach and media type. Ensure firmware and driver updates are applied for stability and performance, and configure link aggregation or multipath setups where redundancy and higher throughput are needed. Monitor thermal and power conditions in dense server deployments to maintain reliable operation.
