Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter E830-XXVDA2 for OCP 3.0 offers leading performance, security, manageability, and interoperability without the technical complexity and the high cost of proprietary technologies.

This adapter supports solutions across Cloud, Enterprise, and Communications with concurrent support of iWARP and RoCEv2 RDMA, modern security features, and key timing protocols. The low power design enables decreased energy consumption across the system to reduce costs and environmental impact, solving increasingly important power density challenges.

Intel Ethernet E830 and E810 network adapters share drivers, ensuring software consistency across generations of products for easy deployment.

The OCP NIC 3.0 specification defines a standardized design for the latest generation of network adapters. Straightforward form factors, clear manageability requirements, and improved serviceability help simplify deployment for current and emerging capabilities.

Optimized for Intel® Xeon® processors

Every data center and workload needs computing capacity and powerful ways to move data securely. Intel® architecture offers both. Deployment-ready, reliable, and affordable, Intel Ethernet E830 Network Adapters are the perfect choice for amplifying performance for servers with Intel® Xeon® 6 processors.

All Intel® Ethernet E830 Adapters offer these key features | Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)

Both RoCEv2 and iWARP protocols are offered, and for added flexibility, RoCEv2 and iWARP can run concurrently.

Programmable Pipeline / Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP)

DDP improves packet processing performance by using the E830 Controller's programmable pipeline to classify frames instead of the CPU. DDP increases throughput, lowers latency, and reduces host CPU overhead in both network functions virtualization (NFV) workloads and cloud-native architectures.

Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)

DPDK enabled to deliver faster NFV, advanced packet forwarding, and efficient packet processing resulting in effective use of CPU cycles and reduced overhead.

Precision Time Synchronization and Measurement

Growth in 5G RAN and edge deployments is driving demand for high-precision timing synchronization across the network.

Intel® Ethernet E830 Network Adapters enable service providers to build open, disaggregated vRAN solutions with off-the-shelf components to meet unique customer needs, including system size and budget

• Compliant with IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) v2.
• Includes Precision Time Measurement (PTM) v1.0a, a protocol used to synchronize a CPU with other devices in a server platform, such as E830 network adapters. Applications benefitting from PTM sub-microsecond timing accuracy include financial services, network monitoring, and distributed database systems.
