Intel 82599ES Dual Port 10G SFP+ NIC Overview
The 10G-NIC-82599ES-2O is EdgeOptic's dual port 10G SFP+ network interface card built on the Intel 82599ES Ethernet controller. It pairs two SFP+ cages with a PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface, giving servers, storage nodes, and virtualization hosts dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks over fiber optics or direct-attach copper cables. SR-IOV, VMDq, and VLAN based network virtualization are built in, alongside iSCSI and FCoE storage-over-Ethernet offload, plus support for NFS storage traffic, making the card a fit for hypervisor clusters and converged storage networks that need to assign isolated network paths per workload.

Intel 82599ES Dual Port 10G SFP+ Network Interface Card Description
The 10G-NIC-82599ES-2O is EdgeOptic's native dual port 10G SFP+ network interface card, built around the Intel 82599ES Ethernet controller (device ID 8086:10FB). It targets network engineers and system administrators who need dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity on a PCI Express 2.0 x8 add in card, for virtualized hosts, storage networks, and general server uplinks that call for SFP+ connectivity rather than fixed copper ports.
Each port runs at 10/1GbE over SFP+, connected through a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface at 5GT/s or 2.5GT/s. The controller supports SR-IOV with 64 virtual functions and VMDq with 64 pools, plus VLAN tagging, so hypervisor hosts can assign isolated network paths per virtual machine. Storage over Ethernet runs through iSCSI and FCoE offload, plus support for NFS storage traffic. The DPDK project's ixgbe poll mode driver lists the Intel 82599ES as a supported chipset, giving packet processing applications a kernel bypass path when that is the deployment requirement.
Protocol support covers IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE Ethernet, 802.3x flow control, 802.3ad link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.1p QoS, and 802.1Qaz Enhanced Transmission Selection. Management features include PXE boot, iSCSI boot, SNMP, RMON, and the Intel PROSet Utility for driver and team configuration. Supported operating systems are Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2019, Windows 7, 8, and 10, Linux distributions including RHEL, SLES, and Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, and FreeBSD.
The card measures 146mm by 69mm and ships with a low profile bracket attached plus a standard bracket included, fitting full height or low profile chassis. Two LEDs per port report link state, solid for link and blinking for activity, with the link speed LED showing green for 10Gbps and yellow for 1Gbps. Power draw is rated at a maximum of 6W across 3.3V and 12V rails. Operating temperature is 0C to 55C with a minimum of 100 LFM airflow; storage temperature spans -40C to 70C, humidity 5% to 90% noncondensing. The card carries CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance.
The 10G-NIC-82599ES-2O is made to order and covered by a lifetime warranty. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic networking hardware experience, it is built for network engineers who need a natively supported 10G SFP+ NIC rather than a repackaged third party card.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 10G-NIC-82599ES-2O support DPDK?
Yes. The DPDK project's ixgbe poll mode driver documentation lists the Intel 82599ES 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller as a supported chipset, so the 10G-NIC-82599ES-2O can run in DPDK based packet processing deployments using that driver.
How many SR-IOV virtual functions does the card support?
The 10G-NIC-82599ES-2O supports SR-IOV with 64 virtual functions and VMDq with 64 pools.
Will third party SFP+ transceivers work in this card's ports?
SFP+ module compatibility on this card depends on the network driver in use. On Linux, the ixgbe driver can report an unsupported module warning for SFP+ optics that are not programmed with Intel recognized vendor data, and enabling non Intel modules typically requires the driver's allow_unsupported_sfp option. Driver behavior varies by version and operating system, so verify the specific SFP+ optic against the ixgbe driver documentation for the host operating system before deployment.
Which operating systems does the 10G-NIC-82599ES-2O support?
Supported operating systems are Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2019, Windows 7, 8, and 10, Linux distributions including RHEL, SLES, and Ubuntu, VMware ESXi, and FreeBSD.
