- The 20,000 Mb/s full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gb/s aggregate full duplex) delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks for the next generation data center
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for financial services, high performance computing, database clusters, iSCSI storage, storage backups, grid systems, virtualization, server and I/O consolidation, fabric consolidation, and more
- The HPE 571SFP+ Adapter is designed with an eight lane (x8) PCI Express bus based on the PCIe v2.0 standard
- The adapter is backward compatible with four lane (x4) PCI Express, automatically auto-sensing between x8 and x4 slots
- The HPE 571SFP+ Adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic
- This is over 5X the size of a standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame
- With jumbo frames, networks can achieve higher throughput performance and greater CPU utilization
- These attributes are particularly useful for database transfer and tape backup operations
- Interrupt coalescing (interrupt moderation) groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of interrupts sent to the host
- This process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties
- IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HPE 571SFP+ adapter to be separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced
- VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance
- The HPE 571SFP+ Adapter provides support for 802.1Q (VLAN)
- Like all HPE ProLiant server adapters, the HPE 571 SFP+ adapter ships with agents that can be managed from HPE Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP
- The HPE 571SFP+ Adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HPE ProLiant servers
- HPE validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web-based enterprise management utilities including HPE Intelligent Provisioning and HPE Systems Insight Manager that simplify network management
- This approach provides a more robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other vendors and provides users with a single point of contact for both their servers and their network adapters
- Each HPE 571SFP+ Adapter ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming
- Additionally, support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations
- Bracket LED indicators show link integrity and network activity for easy troubleshooting
Is your data center facing tough issues from the new generation of applications such as high performance computing and cloud computing? The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 571SFP+ Adapter, based on the Performant SFC9020 controller from Solarflare, is designed to address them head on. Equipped to handle the application loads of the latest multi-core processors, it also delivers unmatched power efficiency for the consolidation and deployment of high-density servers. Now available as a fully supported factory installed option on the HPE ProLiant DL360p Gen8 and HPE DL380p Gen8 servers, the HPE 571SFP+ Adapter has two SFP+ cages that enable connections with DACs as well as SR fiber optic modules. The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 571SFP+ 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), jumbo frames, and PXE boot.
