HPE 560FLB 10GbE Dual-Port FlexibleLOM Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The HPE 560FLB is a dual-port 10GbE FlexibleLOM adapter designed specifically for HPE BladeSystem c-Class Gen8 servers. This adapter addresses the need for high-throughput, low-latency network connectivity in dense blade server environments. It is engineered to support the increasing bandwidth demands of virtualization, high-performance computing clusters, and converged storage traffic by providing a dedicated 20 Gbps full-duplex connection per port. Based on the Intel 82599 controller, the adapter delivers significant performance enhancements and efficiency gains. It offloads stateless TCP/IP operations, freeing up server CPU cycles for core application processing. Key features like VLAN tagging, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), and jumbo frames support ensure optimized traffic flow and network segmentation, which are critical in multi-tenant virtualized data centers. Designed for seamless integration, the 560FLB fits into the server motherboard’s dedicated FlexibleLOM slot, conserving a standard PCIe slot for other purposes. This form factor is ideal for maximizing I/O density within blade enclosures. Management is streamlined through HPE Systems Insight Manager (SIM) and other SNMP-compliant platforms, allowing for comprehensive monitoring and administration within the existing server management framework.
