Host Adapters

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.

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.

Is your data center constantly challenged to deliver increased security and reliability in a cost-effective and scalable solution for your network bandwidth?
The HPE Gen10 Plus Ethernet adapters are 1 Gb, 10 Gb, 10/25 Gb, 100 Gb, and 200 Gb Ethernet solutions that are scalable and compatible with HPE Gen10 Plus servers for hybrid cloud services, mobile data, and streaming video applications.
Your server is the foundation of your data center, but it doesn’t work alone. When one link in your component chain slows down, so does the rest of your operation. Keep your network and data flowing with a seamless ecosystem of HPE servers, networking adapters, transceivers, cables, and switches.

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 require SDN features, low-latency and high-bandwidth in your data center?

The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ X710-DA2 Adapter offers the latest SDN features in a Standup form factor. The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ X710-DA2 Adapter is a feature rich, low power dual port PCIe v3.0 x8 lane adapter designed for use in HPE ProLiant Rack and Density Optimized servers.

Stuck in network traffic at 10Gbps? Time to take the Express Lane with HPE 25GbE Adapters. With the rise in volume of mobile data and video and the frequency in which it’s accessed, legacy technologies are struggling to handle the increased throughput and lack the capabilities to cost-effectively scale. Current approaches to managing the increasing data center traffic require higher bandwidth and are cost prohibitive, keeping organizations from easily growing as their needs grow. The HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port FLR-SFP28 CX4 Adapter is a FlexibleLOM form factor for select HPE ProLiant Server DL family of rack and HPE Apollo Servers that delivers high-performance solutions to Telco, services providers, financial institutions and enterprises to meet higher bandwidth demand.

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.

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.
