The network adapters provide higher data speeds and flexible connections, helping data centers, AI systems, and telecom networks manage increasing data traffic.
Organizations building data centers, AI infrastructure, enterprise networks, and telecom systems now have access to higher-speed networking options with the launch of Intel‘s Ethernet E835 Controllers and Network Adapters. The new additions to the Intel 800 Series portfolio deliver up to 200GbE bandwidth and are designed to help operators manage growing data traffic, support workloads, and improve network utilization.
The Ethernet E835 family offers connectivity options ranging from 10GbE to 200GbE, enabling users to increase network capacity as requirements change. Available configurations include 2x25GbE, 4x25GbE, 2x100GbE, and 1x200GbE, allowing deployment across cloud, enterprise, edge, and telecom environments. Engineers and network operators can also use the Intel Ethernet Port Configuration Tool (EPCT) to adjust port settings and adapt systems to changing workload demands without replacing hardware.
To support system throughput, the adapters use PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 host interfaces. They provide more bandwidth per CPU core, helping organizations use high-core-count server platforms more effectively. The platform also includes RDMA technologies, including RoCEv2 and iWARP, which reduce CPU usage during data transfers. Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP) allows packet processing to be adjusted for specific applications.
The E835 also includes security features such as a hardware-based Root of Trust, support for SPDM 1.2 hardware attestation, and compliance with FIPS 140-3 Level 1 requirements. These capabilities help organizations verify hardware integrity and support zero-trust security models.
The adapters maintain software driver compatibility with previous Intel Ethernet generations, helping simplify upgrades. Broad operating system support and long-term product availability also help organizations maintain infrastructure over time.
As cloud computing, AI workloads, fixed wireless access, and mobile core networks continue to expand, the Intel Ethernet E835 family is intended to provide the bandwidth, configuration options, and security features required for network infrastructure deployments.
