Intel Ethernet Power Management Technology Intel Ethernet Power Management Technology provides solutions to common power management approaches by reducing idle power, adjusting capacity and power based on demand, operating at maximum energy efficiency whenever possible, and enabling functionality only when needed. Intel Data Direct I/O Technology Intel Data Direct I/O Technology is a platform technology that improves I/O data processing efficiency for data delivery and consumption from I/O devices. With Intel DDIO, Intel Server Adapters and controllers communicate directly with the processor cache, reducing latency, increasing system I/O bandwidth, and decreasing power consumption. Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) Technology Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) technology utilizes industry standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently divide a physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices. This provides Quality of Service by ensuring each process is assigned to a Virtual Function and is given a fair share of the bandwidth. Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) Technology Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) is a technology designed to offload some of the switching done in the VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) to networking hardware specifically designed for this function. VMDq drastically reduces overhead associated with I/O switching in the VMM, greatly improving throughput and overall system performance.
