The 10,000 Mbps Ethernet transfer rate delivers the outstanding network performance that is required for the next-generation datacenter; it improves response time and removes bottlenecks. Ten Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for high-performance computing, database clusters, network-attached storage, storage backups, grid systems, virtualization, server and I/O consolidation, fabric consolidation, and more.

Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) enables the HP NC510F PCIe 10 Gigabit Server Adapter to multi-function, both as a network adapter and as a storage host bus adapter (HBA), thereby providing access to storage boxes and to servers over a single connection. Accelerated iSCSI offloads the iSCSI software to the hardware for improved system performance. The accelerated iSCSI multifunction feature is planned for future, near-term release.Interrupt coalescing (also known as interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of interrupts sent to the host. This process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
