Description

Overview

The Intel IQA89701G3P5 is a PCIe 3.0 x16 cryptographic accelerator adapter designed to offload encryption and compression tasks from your server’s main processors. It supports data rates up to 100 G per port, enabling faster and more secure data handling in environments such as VPN gateways, secure storage arrays, and cloud platforms. This card helps maintain low latency and high throughput while reducing CPU load, making it a practical choice for demanding data center applications.

Key features
  • Hardware acceleration for AES, SHA, TLS, and other common cryptographic algorithms to speed up secure data processing
  • Supports SR-IOV technology, allowing multiple virtual machines to share the card efficiently with isolated resources
  • Low-profile form factor fits standard and compact server chassis for flexible installation
  • Consumes only 23 W of power, helping to manage energy use and cooling requirements in dense server environments
  • Compatible with Linux operating systems, with drivers available for major distributions to ensure smooth integration
  • Operates reliably within a temperature range of 32 °F to 122 °F, suitable for typical rack conditions
  • Limited lifetime warranty provides long-term hardware support and peace of mind

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter installs easily into any server with an available PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, making it compatible with a wide range of standard server hardware. Its Linux driver support covers major distributions, ensuring it integrates well into existing data center environments. The SR-IOV feature enhances virtualization by allowing multiple virtual machines to share the card’s resources securely and efficiently.

Performance and reliability

By offloading cryptographic workloads from the CPU, this accelerator card improves overall server performance and responsiveness. Its ability to handle up to 100 G per port throughput supports high-volume network and storage traffic without bottlenecks. The card’s low power draw and wide operating temperature range contribute to stable and efficient operation in demanding data center conditions.

Ideal uses and environments

This cryptographic accelerator is well suited for data centers and enterprises that require secure and fast data processing, such as VPN endpoints, cloud service providers, and secure storage solutions. It fits well in virtualized environments where resource sharing and isolation are critical. Its low-profile design and modest power requirements make it a practical addition to both standard and compact server setups.

Returns and refunds

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

Product warranty

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
