Adapters

The HPE SN1700Q 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) enable any HPE ProLiant server to share a highly resilient storage array such as the HPE Alletra Storage Array. Any HPE ProLiant with a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA can be configured to share storage. This type of design is a Storage Area Network (SAN). A FC Switch is used between the HPE ProLiant servers and the storage to direct data traffic to and from the server and storage.

A SAN is an excellent design for high availability, and high performance, using block-based design complementary to databases, online transaction processing, and enterprise resource processing. The SAN also enables different generations of FC products to interconnect allowing for phased upgrades or longer investment protection options.

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.

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

The HPE Synergy 6820C 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 HPE Synergy high-density 50G Ethernet switching solution, this adapter provides high throughput and low latency to implement intelligent and flexible networks.

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.

Are you looking for extremely high-bandwidth and very low latency communications for your HPE Apollo System and HPE ProLiant DL rack mount server families?

The HPE HDR InfiniBand and Ethernet adapters are designed for customers who deploy high performance computing (HPC) systems with their HPE ProLiant XL and HPE ProLiant DL Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers in the data center. The HPE InfiniBand HDR/HDR100 and Ethernet adapters are available as stand up cards or in the OCP 3.0 form factor, equipped with 1 port or 2 ports. Combined with HDR InfiniBand switches, they deliver low latency and up to 200Gbps bandwidth, ideal for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications in HPC and enterprise data centers.

When server infrastructure may be limiting the performance of the OLTP and database operations, what server upgrades are necessary to address potential performance bottlenecks and achieve more effective results?
The HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is designed for demanding mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. It supports HPE ProLiant, HPE Alletra Storage servers, and HPE Cray / HPE Superdome servers in a Fibre Channel SAN. Compared to the previous generation, the HPE SN1700E FC HBAs offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 64GFC. It provides seamless backward compatibility to 32GFC and 16GFC networks. When using storage-intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 64GFC infrastructure enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.
