HPE Host Adapters for Enterprise Storage & Network Connectivity

.

Do you need a data-center-on-chip platform to deliver better performance for your HPC/edge environments?
The HPE Data Processing Unit is a cloud infrastructure processor that governs the offloading, acceleration, and isolation of tasks like networking, storage, security and management to improve efficiency and performance. This series features two default operating modes: DPU and SuperNIC. By leveraging DPU mode, a data center-to-business application separation is created, resulting in a zero trust infrastructure with customized operations and an overall reduction in the total cost of ownership. In SuperNIC mode, the DPU too runs as an enhanced solution for east to west traffic in GPU systems, enabling accelerated networking for AI computing. SuperNICs support workloads in power-efficient, low-profile designs and can provide superb AI workload efficiency through proven RoCE. Utilize the HPE Data Processing Unit for consistent and predictable performance for accelerating AI computing.

Are you looking for an easy and cost effective transition to 10GBASE-T with enhanced security features? The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BCM957416 Adapters utilize CAT 6A cabling with distances up to 100 meters and is backward compatible to existing 1GBASE-T infrastructure. This allows quick and easy incremental improvement of network speed without either changing the cables or major upgrade of equipment. These adapters help prevent, detect and recover from cyber attacks by protecting applications, data and server infrastructure by authenticating digitally signed firmware via a Root of Trust architecture. In addition, they offer Secure Boot, Device-level Firewall and other advanced security features.

Do you need an adapter that is big on capability and small on CPU utilization?

The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 537SFP+ FLR Adapter has been designed to efficiently deliver high performance, low latency an minimal CPU utilization by offloading many I/O processing within the adapter. Low latency dramatically improves application performance and frees up CPU resources in the host allowing it to do tasks that are more important.

Do you need low power, high port density 1GbE network adapters for virtualization and server consolidation?

The HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port FLR-T BCM5719 Adapter for select HPE ProLiant servers features the next generation of Ethernet integration, offering a single-chip solution in a FlexibleLOM form factor, which offers the option for future upgrades to 10GbE networking speeds. It delivers full line-rate performance across all ports with low power consumption. The adapter is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. The total aggregate throughput of 4 Gb meets the needs of customers desiring high bandwidth. The adapter supports advanced features such as Large Send and Receive offload capability, TCP checksum and segmentation, VLAN tagging, MSI-X, jumbo frames, IEEE 1588, HPE Sea of Sensors 3D and virtualization features such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ.

Do your high performance computing (HPC) or artificial intelligence (AI) workloads need improved performance to enable research and development? HPE InfiniBand XDR Adapters deliver extremely fast, efficient network connectivity, significantly enhancing system performance for AI factories and cloud data center environments. The HPE InfiniBand XDR Adapters include single-port and dual-port options. The single-port adapters are offered in InfiniBand XDR speeds (800 Gb/s) and ethernet (2x400GbE) with OSFP connectors. The dual-port adapters are offered in InfiniBand XDR (400 Gb/s) and ethernet (400GbE) enabled with QSFP112 connectors. They seamlessly integrate with next-gen NVIDIA networking platforms, providing up to 800 Gb/s of end-to-end connectivity.

Is your remote office, department or company looking to consolidate data spread across multiple HPE ProLiant servers into a highly reliable and affordable SAN?
There are many benefits to a consolidated storage strategy. The HPE SN1100Q 16Gb Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) build a Fibre Channel connection when installed into an HPE ProLiant server and cabled to a switch and storage device.
Multiple physical HPE ProLiant servers and/or virtual servers can be routed using a Fibre Channel switch to an HPE storage array such as the HPE MSA, HPE Nimble Storage or HPE Alletra storage devices. This level of consolidation concentrates storage management on one storage device and provides an equally powerful and reliable connection for each server and its applications. Additionally, an onsite data protection device such as a disk or tape backup can leverage the same Fibre Channel infrastructure helping eliminate slow over-the-network backups.

Is your data center poised to take the 16 Gb step in Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity?

The growth in enterprise flash storage and the deployment of servers with multi-core processors is driving the need for high performance storage networking to prevent application performance bottlenecks. The FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a critical element of this storage network to improve storage performance.

The HPE SN1200E 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver the high bandwidth, low latency and high IOPs to meet any application requirements, from online transaction processing or data warehousing to backup/restore and OpenStack Cinder block storage.

Supporting higher virtual machine density on powerful host servers, the SN1200E 16Gb HBAs delivers increased ROI on enabling more applications and virtual machines to run on a single server and I/O port without impacting SLAs. The 16 Gb FC HBA is backward compatible with 8 and 4 Gb FC storage networks to protect legacy investments.

When your environment has multiple workloads across multiple physical servers, how will you optimize your data? 
The HPE SN1620E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is the server connection to the Storage Area Network (SAN). Database applications, high volume virtual server configurations and traditional data protection benefit from high bandwidth, low latency, and high I/Os delivered on a SAN. The growth in enterprise flash storage and the deployment of servers with multi-core processors is driving the need for high performance storage networking to prevent application operation gridlocks. The FC host bus adapter (HBA) is a critical element of this storage network to improve storage performance. The HBA offers flexibility and investment protection by supporting two generations of older infrastructure like FC Switches and Directors and two generations of newer infrastructure. This level of investment protection is critical when the buying cycles of servers and storage differ.
