HPE 700760-B21 FlexFabric 10Gb 2-Port 533FLR-T Adapter
Overview
The HPE 700760-B21 is a dual-port 10GBASE-T network adapter designed in the FlexibleLOM form factor for specific HPE ProLiant servers. It addresses the increasing demand for higher bandwidth and network performance in modern data centers. This adapter is engineered for workload-intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, high-performance 10GbE connectivity solution over standard CAT 6a UTP cabling for distances up to 100 meters. At its core, the adapter solves network congestion by delivering a 20 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port. It leverages a QLogic chipset to provide full hardware offload for storage traffic, including iSCSI and FCoE protocols. This offloading capability frees up server CPU cycles, improving overall system performance and efficiency, which is critical in virtualized and cloud computing environments. Designed for seamless integration, the FlexibleLOM form factor allows for easy installation in compatible HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers without consuming a standard PCIe slot. Management is streamlined through HPE’s ProActive Insight architecture, which unifies NIC and storage administration. This combination of speed, protocol offloading, and integrated management makes it a strategic upgrade for data centers looking to enhance network capabilities and reduce operational complexity.
