QNAP, a brand specializing in storage solutions, has recently introduced a new dual-port 25GbE SFP28 network expansion card. This model is designed for use in both NAS systems and Windows or Linux PCs.
Equipped with the Intel Ethernet controller E810-XXVAM2, the QNAP QXG-25G2SF-E810 card supports PCIe Gen 4, making it backward compatible with PCIe Gen 3 out of the box; and can be installed in a QNAP NAS . It can also be installed in Windows or Linux servers and workstations.
A network card for today's business needs
As enterprises are asking to upgrade to enterprise-grade, low-latency 25GbE speeds, this card model is ideal for server rooms, virtualization applications, multimedia streaming, real-time editing, and data backup and restoration.
With two 25GbE SFP28 ports, the QXG-25G2SF-E810 card supports bandwidth up to 50Gbps by enabling the use of Multi-Channel SMB to add multiple network connections, making it ideal for accelerating large file sharing and intensive data transfer.
Its network offloading support allows the QXG-25G2SF-E810 card to improve network efficiency. It is presented as an ideal complement for data centers and the use of I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive virtualization applications. The QNAP QXG-25G2SF-E810 card perfectly complements the TS-h2287XU-RP NAS model, as it allows for the connection of more endpoints. When combined with a 25GbE network switch, it creates a scalable, ultra-high-speed network environment that is particularly cost-effective.
The QXG-25G2SF-E810 card requires drivers on Windows and Linux, including Windows 11, Windows Server 2022 , and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS . Users can download the device drivers from the official Intel website.
