HPE 561FLR-T Dual-Port 10GBASE-T FlexibleLOM Adapter
Overview
The HPE 561FLR-T is a dual-port 10GBASE-T network adapter designed in the FlexibleLOM form factor for specific HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers. It addresses the need for high-throughput, low-latency connectivity in demanding data center environments. This adapter solves network bottlenecks by delivering up to 40 Gb/s of aggregate bi-directional throughput, making it an ideal solution for virtualized servers and cloud computing workloads where network performance is critical. At its core, the adapter utilizes the robust Intel X540 controller, a proven chipset that ensures reliable line-rate performance. This controller enables advanced virtualization features like VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ, which offload packet sorting from the hypervisor to the adapter hardware. This process reduces CPU utilization and improves overall system performance, allowing for greater virtual machine density per server and more efficient resource allocation within the virtual infrastructure. Engineered for seamless integration, the 561FLR-T fits into the dedicated FlexibleLOM slot on supported ProLiant servers, preserving valuable standard PCIe slots for other components. Its dual RJ-45 ports allow for cost-effective 10GbE deployment using standard CAT 6A twisted-pair copper cabling for distances up to 100 meters. Management is integrated within the HPE server ecosystem, ensuring simplified configuration and monitoring through standard enterprise tools.
