Intel has a 4 port 10/25gbps version of the e810.
You can even get it in low profile if you use the supermicro version.
You can shove whatever multi-gig SFP+ you want in them.
You don't see more than this because there is essentially no market.
If you are virtualizing them, it's easier to sr-iov them and use a higher bandwidth physical port
If you are using them as a switch, it's an expensive switch - mikrotik has a 4x100g switch that is 40 watts (maximum) and 800 bucks (vs a 4 port e810 at 1200-1500 bucks).

- walterbell 4y agoThanks for the pointers, looking for a managed switch that can run open software. There's used Brocade enterprise gear with closed software. At the high-end (10g/25g), there's merchant silicon switches for Azure's SONIC Linux, from Arista and others. > If you are virtualizing them, it's easier to sr-iov them and use a higher bandwidth physical port True. For virtualization, is there a way to split a 10g NIC (e.g. into 4 VMs @ 2.5g) and still map them onto isolated physical ethernet cables? QNAP has a $200 unmanaged device with 2x10g (copper or SFP+) and 4x2.5Gg, https://www.qnap.com/en-us/product/qsw-2104-2s https://www.qnap.com/en-us/product/qsw-2104-2s. The other option is mini-ITX (e.g. Epyc Embedded) with integrated NICs + PCI slots for multiport NICs.
- DannyBee 4y agoThere is no such way. The usual answer would be to use vlans rather than physical isolation.
