E7Y06A HPE Storefabric CN1200E 10GB PCI Express Converged Refurbished

A Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a hardware component that is used in server environments to consolidate and optimize network traffic by combining multiple network protocols (such as Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and iSCSI) over a single physical link. The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB PCIe CNA offers several advantages, including:

• Reduced infrastructure costs: By converging multiple networks onto a single physical link, organizations can reduce the number of network cards, switches, and cables required, resulting in lower infrastructure costs.
• Improved performance: The CN1200E 10GB PCIe CNA supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) technology, which provides faster data transfer speeds than traditional Gigabit Ethernet. This translates to improved application performance and faster data transfers.
• Enhanced reliability: By consolidating multiple networks onto a single physical link, the CN1200E 10GB PCIe CNA provides increased redundancy and failover capabilities, which can help to ensure business continuity in the event of a network outage.
• Simplified management: The CN1200E 10GB PCIe CNA can be managed through a single interface, which simplifies network management and reduces the administrative burden on IT staff.
• Energy efficiency: The CN1200E 10GB PCIe CNA uses less power than traditional network cards, resulting in lower energy costs and reduced environmental impact.

The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB PCIe CNA offers significant advantages for organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure, reduce costs, and improve application performance and reliability.

10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) is a high-speed networking technology that enables data transfer rates of up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps). It is the next generation of Ethernet technology and provides a significant improvement over traditional Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) in terms of bandwidth, speed, and performance.

The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB PCIe CNA supports 10GbE technology, which provides several benefits, including:

• Faster data transfer speeds: 10GbE provides up to 10 times faster data transfer speeds than traditional Gigabit Ethernet, which translates to improved application performance, faster backups, and reduced data transfer times.
• Increased bandwidth: 10GbE provides a wider network bandwidth, which enables more data to be transmitted at the same time. This is particularly useful in high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, virtualization, and cloud computing.
• Improved network efficiency: 10GbE technology provides better network efficiency by reducing network congestion, which results in improved performance and reduced latency.
• Better scalability: 10GbE technology enables networks to scale to accommodate more users and devices without sacrificing performance.
• Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): Although 10GbE technology is more expensive than traditional Gigabit Ethernet, it can result in a lower TCO over time by reducing the need for additional network infrastructure and providing better performance.

10GbE technology provides faster data transfer speeds, increased bandwidth, improved network efficiency, better scalability, and a lower TCO. These benefits make it an ideal technology for organizations that require high-performance networking capabilities.
