Your server-to-server traffic is crawling and the NIC is the choke point. This Intel X710-DA4 drops four 10Gb/s SFP+ ports into a ThinkSystem PCIe slot and gives you the bandwidth headroom to move data without watching a progress bar. Four independent 10Gb links means you can segment storage, management, and production traffic onto separate lanes instead of sharing one pipe. The Intel X710 chipset is well-supported in current ThinkSystem firmware, so driver and iLO integration are straightforward. If your network design calls for a quad-port 10Gb SFP+ card in a Lenovo chassis, this is the part that clears the bottleneck
