HPE P08256-001 100Gb 2-Port Network Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The HPE P08256-001 is a high-performance network adapter designed to elevate data transfer capabilities within modern data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This adapter delivers versatile, converged InfiniBand HDR100 and Ethernet 100Gb connectivity, addressing the critical need for ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth data processing. It seamlessly integrates into HPE ProLiant servers, providing a robust solution for accelerating demanding applications and ensuring efficient data flow. Engineered with two QSFP56 ports, the adapter facilitates exceptional throughput of up to 100Gbps, catering to intense data traffic requirements. Its PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface ensures that the adapter can leverage the full bandwidth of the server’s bus, eliminating bottlenecks and maximizing data transfer efficiency between the network and the host system. This dual-protocol support simplifies infrastructure by consolidating InfiniBand and Ethernet networks onto a single adapter, reducing complexity and operational overhead. Designed for flexible deployment, this network adapter adopts a standup low-profile form factor, making it compatible with a wide array of HPE ProLiant DL rack-mount, tower, and BladeSystem servers, as well as HPE Synergy platforms. Its integration into these ecosystems allows for streamlined management through existing HPE server management tools, simplifying network configuration and monitoring. The P08256-001 is a strategic component for optimizing server resource utilization and supporting future-ready, high-speed networking requirements.
