HPE 764285-B21 ProLiant 10Gb/40Gb Dual-port Adapter
Overview
The HPE 764285-B21 is a high-performance FlexibleLOM (FLR) network adapter, meticulously engineered to address the demanding bandwidth and low-latency requirements of modern data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. Designed specifically for HPE ProLiant Generation 9 and Generation 10 servers, this dual-port adapter offers versatile connectivity options, supporting both InfiniBand FDR and 10 Gigabit/40 Gigabit Ethernet protocols. It serves as a crucial component for organizations seeking to optimize server and storage clustering, enabling faster data movement and improved application responsiveness across their infrastructure. Leveraging advanced Mellanox ConnectX-3 PRO technology, this adapter delivers exceptional data transfer rates of up to 40 Gbps, ensuring that critical workloads are not bottlenecked by network performance. A key technical differentiator is its support for Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), which allows for efficient, low-latency data transfers directly between server memory and storage without involving the CPU. This, combined with integrated offload engines, significantly reduces processor overhead, freeing up valuable CPU cycles for application processing rather than network management. Integrated seamlessly into compatible HPE ProLiant servers via a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, the 764285-B21 provides a robust foundation for scalable and flexible network architectures. Its FlexibleLOM form factor allows for streamlined installation and hot-plug support, minimizing downtime during upgrades or maintenance. Ideal for mission-critical applications, large-scale virtualization, and intensive data analytics, this adapter ensures reliable, high-speed connectivity, enhancing the overall operational efficiency and performance of enterprise-class server deployments.
