Adapters

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 a 100Gb Intel® Omni-Path Adapters for your HPE ProLiant XL and DL Server families?

HPE 100Gb Intel Omni-Path Adapters are designed for customers who deploy High Performance Computing (HPC) systems with their HPE ProLiant XL and DL Server families in the data center. The HPE 100 Gb 1p OP101 QSFP28 x16 OPA Adapter is available today. It is a low-profile PCIe card that supports one QSFP28 port with 100 Gb/s performance. By managing the traffic at a fine-grain Flow Control Digits (FLITs) level, the adapters and switches are able to make extremely granular switching decisions to optimize the performance.

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.

Are you looking for an upgrade path to improve Storage Area Network performance for your ProLiant servers?

The HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) provides significant I/O performance and security benefits over existing 16 Gb SAN solutions. Even if the SN1610 is introduced into a new ProLiant server, the Fibre Channel standard enables backward compatibility to 16 Gb infrastructure. Additionally, the HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel HBA is forward compatible to 64 Gb and future speeds. The exponential effect of newer servers and infrastructure helps accelerate databases, host more virtual machines, support emerging technologies such as NVMe, and reduce total cost of ownership. The HBA delivers better business outcomes across multiple industry verticals that rely on high-performance, data-intensive, and reliable connectivity from servers to storage.

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.

Are you looking for a simple way to migrate to 10G high performance data center with low cost and low power in your data center? The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port X550-AT2 Adapter deliver high performance and low latency for Ethernet traffic to and from the server with minimal CPU resources required. Processing of I/O packets on the adapter frees up CPU to do other more important tasks. For environments such as Telco/NFV, high-performance computing (HPC) and ecommerce that deal with large volumes of small packet traffic, these adapters accelerate small packet processing by bypassing processing in the host O/S kernel.

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.

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.

What if you could increase I/O performance and improve network efficiency between HPE Synergy Compute sodules and complex storage environments? Designed for the HPE Synergy Composable Fabric, HPE Synergy 5330C 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) connects HPE Synergy Compute resource pools to SANs over 32 Gb native FC fabrics. It provides both high-performance and network efficiency. High performance is achieved through low latency connectivity to HPE Synergy Virtual Connect FC Modules and Brocade® FC Switch Modules while network efficiency is achieved through the HPE Synergy Composer automatically coordinating proper firmware and driver including staging updates to execute and avoid workload disruption
