The NIC supports virtual machine software like virtual machines from Microsoft, Citrix, VMware, KVM and Oracle. The Niagara 42265-VM server adapter supports and leverages Intel’s ethernet controller which provides PCI-e 2.0 (5 GT/s) support, low power operation, per packet time-stamping and intelligent queue support (including virtual machine data queues) optimised for multicore processors.

The controller possesses specialised features including a frame size of 9.5 KB, load-balancing of network traffic flow, IPv6 offloading, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), and Direct Cache Access. The Intel controller has broad OS support and certifications including VMware ESX, XEN and Hyper-V.

Niagara 42265-VM provides Passive Bypass which is essential during power loss or software failure, uses low power, provides Link Fault Detection (LFD) support and is RoHS compliant. It handles 2 Gbps traffic load with two RJ45 connectors for 10/100/1000 full- and half-duplex support.

Programmable independent mode allows the Niagara 42265-VM to function as a dual port gigabit copper card with programmable fail-closed or fail-open while in the power-off state.
