Features and benefits
 
 Intel? 82599 10 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
 Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors
 
 Low-profile
 Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers
 
 Load balancing on multiple CPUs
 Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across 
 CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*
 
 iSCSI remote boot support
 Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than other iSCSI solutions
 
 Support for most network operating systems (NOS)
 Enables widespread deployment
 
 RoHS-compliant2
 Complies with the European Union directive 2002/95/EC to reduce the use of hazardous materials
 
 Intel? PROSet utility for Microsoft Windows* Device Manager
 Provides point-and-click management of individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection 
 teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration
 
 Time Sync (IEEE 1588, 802.1as)
 Lets networked Ethernet equipment synchronize internal clocks according to a network master clock; 
 endpoint can then acquire an accurate estimate of the master time by compensating for link latency
