HPE N3U51A StoreFabric CN1200E 10GbE Converged Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE N3U51A is a server‑class converged network adapter (CNA) offering two 10 Gb/s BASE‑T RJ‑45 ports over standard copper cabling. It supports Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) in a single adapter, enabling consolidation of storage and network traffic on the same link. The adapter uses a PCI Express 3.0 ×8 bus interface and low‑profile form‑factor, making it suitable for dense rack servers in modern data centres. Designed to support existing copper infrastructure, it lowers cost and simplifies cabling while delivering high‑speed connectivity and full offload capability. Use cases include hyper‑converged servers, storage‑traffic nodes, and virtualised hosts where network and storage convergence is required.
