HPE 700763-B21 FlexFabric 20Gb 2-Port 650FLB Adapter
Overview
The HPE 700763-B21 is a FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB network adapter designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 blade servers. This FlexibleLOM (FLB) card addresses the need for high-speed, converged network I/O in dense data center environments. It solves the critical problem of I/O bottlenecks in virtualized and cloud workloads by providing a high-throughput, low-latency connection for both network and storage traffic. This adapter utilizes key technologies to accelerate IT services and improve host efficiency. It offers Tunnel Offload for VXLAN and NVGRE, which enhances overlay networking performance and allows for greater virtual machine scale with minimal impact on server CPU performance. Furthermore, its support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) significantly lowers latency and increases host efficiency, which is ideal for demanding applications like Microsoft Hyper-V Live Migration and database clusters. Engineered for the FlexibleLOM slot on HPE ProLiant blade servers, the 700763-B21 integrates seamlessly into HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosures. Its plug-in card form factor simplifies deployment and upgrades. Management is handled through standard platforms like SNMP, allowing for straightforward integration into existing network management frameworks.
