HPE P42043-001 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Network Mellanox MCX631432AS 10/25Gb 2-Port

The HPE P42043-001 is a high-performance Ethernet network adapter designed for modern data centers requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity. This OCP 3.0 mezzanine adapter is engineered specifically for integration with HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers, providing a modular and scalable networking solution for enterprise applications, cloud computing, and virtualized environments. It addresses the need for faster data transfer by offering dual 10/25GbE ports, enabling flexible and efficient network traffic management. At its core, this adapter leverages advanced offload technologies to reduce CPU overhead and improve server efficiency. By processing network protocols directly on the adapter, it frees up valuable processor cycles for critical application workloads. This capability is essential in dense virtualized environments and for storage traffic like iSCSI, ensuring that network performance does not become a bottleneck. The result is a significant boost in overall system performance and responsiveness for demanding tasks. Designed for seamless integration, the P42043-001 fits into the dedicated OCP 3.0 slot on compatible HPE servers, ensuring a clean, tool-less installation that does not occupy a standard PCIe slot. This mezzanine form factor optimizes airflow and simplifies cable management within the server chassis. Management is unified through HPE’s standard toolsets, allowing for consistent firmware updates and configuration alongside other server components, simplifying the entire lifecycle management process for IT administrators.
