HPE P36056-001 1-Port 100GbE QSFP28 Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE P36056-001 is a high-throughput, single-port 100Gbps Ethernet network adapter designed for demanding data center environments. As a plug-in network interface card, its primary role is to provide servers with high-speed connectivity to the core network or storage fabrics, effectively eliminating I/O bottlenecks for applications in high-performance computing, cloud, and virtualization clusters. Engineered for maximum data throughput, this adapter utilizes a PCI Express 3.0 x16 host interface to deliver the bandwidth needed for its 100GbE QSFP28 port. This ensures extremely low latency for data-intensive workloads. Key supported technologies include Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), which offloads data transfer tasks from the CPU, and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which allows virtual machines to share a single PCIe hardware interface, boosting overall system efficiency. This adapter is physically deployed by installing it into an available PCIe slot within a compatible server, such as HPE’s ProLiant Gen10 series. Its plug-in card form factor makes it a straightforward upgrade for existing infrastructure. Once installed, it is managed through the server’s native operating system and HPE’s standard infrastructure management utilities, integrating seamlessly into the existing management framework.
