HPE P08254-001
InfiniBand HDR100 / 100 GbE 1‑Port QSFP56 Gigabit Ethernet Card (PCIe 3.0 ×16)
The HPE P08254‑001 is a high-performance network adapter offering either InfiniBand HDR100 or standard 100 Gb Ethernet via a single QSFP56 port. Connected via PCI Express 3.0 ×16, it’s ideal for HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers and Apollo systems in HPC and data center environments. Whether deployed for ultra-low latency InfiniBand fabrics or high-bandwidth Ethernet backbones, it delivers flexible and scalable connectivity from a single port.
Features
This adapter leverages the Nvidia/Mellanox MCX653105A‑ECAT (ConnectX‑6) chipset to deliver full wire-rate 100 Gb/s performance. With support for both InfiniBand HDR100 and 100 Gb Ethernet, the card enables RDMA offloads, SR‑IOV virtualization, VXLAN overlays, and MPI enhancements. Compatible with HPE Apollo and ProLiant Gen10 platforms and HDR-capable HPE switches, it provides efficient inter-server or storage fabric interconnects with minimal latency and CPU load. Firmware updates and management tools are available via HPE support. turn0search16turn0search6
Advanced Options
