Combined with HPE FDR InfiniBand Switches or Ethernet Switches, they deliver low latency and up to 50 Gb/s bandwidth. Ideal for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications in HPC and enterprise data centers.

HPE Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) are dual port adapters that provide Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity over 10 GbE/25 GbE using both Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards. By consolidating Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel onto a converged adapter, HPE CNAs reduce the number of separate adapters and cables required for your data center and also reduce operational, power, and cooling costs while preserving existing Ethernet and Fibre Channel infrastructure. HPE CNAs have also been thoroughly tested with HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Top of Rack (ToR) switches to help ensure a better HPE FCoE solution for your data center.

Do you need a 10GbE Adapter ideal for server virtualization, consolidating LAN and SAN, video applications, network segmentation and High Performance Computing (HPC)? The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port FLR-SFP+ X520-DA2 Adapter FlexibleLOM adapter features low cost, low power dual port PCIe v2.0 x8 lane adapter. The adapter addresses the demanding needs of the next-generation data center by providing unmatched features for virtualization and scalability with the proven and reliable performance HPE customers have come to expect.

HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port FLR-SFP+ X520-DA2 Adapter supports high performance networking features such as VLAN tagging, low latency interrupts, TCP and UDP checksum offloading, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), WOL, and jumbo frames.

Do you want low latency and consistency for your data center? The HPE Synergy 6410C 25/50Gb Ethernet Adapter is ideal for telcos, cloud service providers, financial and e-Commerce customers as it provides both fast transmission and device processing. This adapter provides low latency for the businesses that need data transactions to cross immediately, where every second of delay could impact your business' bottom line. Pairing the HPE Synergy 6410C Adapter with the HPE SH2200 25/50/100Gb Ethernet Switch ensures no disruption between the server and switch giving you end to end high performance network capability.

Are you looking for next-generation Fibre Channel (FC) adapter for the Modern Data Center?

The HPE SN1610E 32Gb FC Host Bus Adapters (HBA) are designed for demanding mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. Applications continue to grow in size and scale. To support them, enterprises are increasingly turning to new server technologies that contain hundreds of processor cores, as well as high-performance storage solutions, including low-latency Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe), and all-flash arrays (AFAs). NVMe can significantly increase the performance of storage area networks (SANs), making the selection of high-speed networking technology the critical element for achieving maximum system-wide performance.

Compared to the previous generation, the HPE SN1610E FC HBAs offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 32 Gigabit Fiber Channel (GFC). It provides seamless backward compatibility to 16 GFC and 8 GFC networks.

Do you want to improve your performance and bandwidth without increasing your hardware complexity?

The HPE Synergy 6810C 25/50Gb Ethernet Adapter provides more than two times the bandwidth compared to 10/20Gb adapters. Therefore, it simplifies hardware implementation by reducing the number of adapters, associated switches and compute modules required to achieve higher bandwidth.

The networking acceleration on this adapter alleviates the CPU utilization, increases the number of virtual machines (VMs) placed on each server, and improves the cloud scale efficiency. Pairing with the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Synergy high-density 50G Ethernet switching solution, this adapter provides high throughput and low latency to implement intelligent and flexible networks.

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.
