With all the speed and connectivity options, the Ethernet 700 series can provide 10GbE with options for 25GbE and 40GbE. Making the decision for choosing the right adapter for each network speed that more future-ready

Je ne comprends pas le sens de la phrase, il doit manquer un verbe ??

prêt pour l'avenir / prêt à évoluer
Explanation:
"future-ready" network adapter: a network adapter ready to adapt to changes - it's got features you don't need now, but you might need soon.

In this:

With all the speed and connectivity options, the Ethernet 700 series can provide 10GbE with options for 25GbE and 40GbE. Making the decision for choosing the right adapter for each network speed that more future-ready

something is missing - what could make sense:

With all the speed and connectivity options, the Ethernet 700 series can provide 10GbE with options for 25GbE and 40GbE. Making the decision for choosing the right adapter for each network speed that [is planned / envisaged will make it (= the adapter)] more future-ready.

IOW if you plan to [or think that you might need to] upgrade your network to 25GbE (or 40GbE) in near future, selecting NOW a network adapter capable of 25GbE (or 40GbE) [instead of just 10GbE that would be good enough for right now] will make your network adapter "future-proof".

Explanation:
C'est clair que la phrase "Making the decision for choosing the right adapter for each network speed that more future-ready" n'est pas correcte - on peut même douter qu'elle ait été écrite par un anglais/américain. On peut néanmoins en saisir le sens.
Puisque les Ethernet 700 sont compatibles 10 Gbits, mais aussi 25 ou 40 Gbits en option, il n'y a pas besoin d'un adaptateur différent pour chaque débit réseau. D'où la proposition qui suit.
"Cette caractéristique rend les adaptateurs Ethernet 700 *prêts pour l'avenir* puisqu'il n'est pas nécessaire de choisir un modèle en fonction du débit du réseau."
C'est TRES éloigné de la phrase anglaise, mais au moins cela veut dire quelque chose :-)

neutral  Daryo: OK, but the explanation "puisqu'il n'est pas nécessaire de choisir un modèle en fonction du débit du réseau" makes no sense AT ALL in the real world - every single piece of equipment must be compatible with the rest of the installation!!!

  -> You are right Daryo. What I wrote makes nos sense AT ALL. I am so lucky you noticed. Thank you :-)

disagree  Daryo: very roughly that, but too much poetic licence for a technical text.
