HPE AW520B CN1000E Dual‑Port 10 GbE Converged Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE AW520B (CN1000E) is a server‑class network adapter designed for enterprise compute systems that require both Ethernet and storage traffic convergence. It offers two 10 Gb/s SFP+ ports and installs via a PCI Express ×8 slot, enabling consolidated LAN, iSCSI and Fibre‑Channel‑over‑Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity in one adapter. The low‑profile form‑factor card fits dense rack or blade servers and is especially suited for virtualization, hyper‑converged and storage‑rich environments where I/O bandwidth and infrastructure efficiency matter. With broad server platform validation and network/‑storage convergence support, it fits as a flexible uplink option in data‑centre or edge compute nodes.
