595325-001 HP 10GB StorageWorks CN1000E 2-Port Converged Bulk

The HP 10GB StorageWorks CN1000E 2-Port Converged Network Adapter is a revolutionary product that can help to transform network operations in data centers. The adapter provides a high-speed, low-latency, and scalable connectivity solution that can improve the performance of networked applications and increase efficiency in the data center.

One way the adapter revolutionizes network operations is by enabling the convergence of multiple network types onto a single adapter. The adapter supports Ethernet, iSCSI, FCoE, and RDMA protocols, which means that data centers can consolidate their network infrastructure onto a single adapter, reducing complexity and simplifying network operations. This convergence also eliminates the need for separate network adapters for different types of traffic, which can reduce the cost of hardware and cabling.

Another way the adapter revolutionizes network operations is by providing high-speed connectivity to virtualized environments. Virtualization is increasingly being used in data centers to improve hardware utilization and reduce costs. However, virtualized environments can be challenging to manage, especially when it comes to network connectivity. The HP 10GB StorageWorks CN1000E 2-Port Converged Network Adapter provides high-speed connectivity to virtualized environments, enabling virtual machines to communicate with each other and the outside world at high speeds.

The adapter's scalability is another factor that revolutionizes network operations. The adapter can support multiple virtual machines with high-speed network connectivity, making it an ideal solution for virtualized environments. The adapter's support for load balancing and teaming also ensures that network traffic is distributed evenly across multiple network interfaces, reducing the load on each interface and improving performance.

Finally, the adapter's support for remote management and monitoring is another way it revolutionizes network operations. The adapter can be configured and managed remotely, which means that network administrators can perform tasks such as configuring settings, updating firmware, and monitoring performance from a central location. This feature can save time and reduce the risk of errors that can occur when performing these tasks manually.

The HP 10GB StorageWorks CN1000E 2-Port Converged Network Adapter empowers network administrators by providing them with a powerful tool for managing and optimizing their network infrastructure. Here are some of the ways that the adapter can empower network administrators:

• Simplified Network Infrastructure: The adapter's ability to support multiple protocols on a single adapter simplifies the network infrastructure. This can help network administrators to reduce complexity and improve manageability. By consolidating multiple network adapters into a single adapter, network administrators can save time and reduce the risk of errors that can occur when managing multiple devices.
• Improved Performance: The adapter's high-speed connectivity and low-latency performance can help to improve the performance of networked applications. This can lead to a better user experience and increased productivity. Network administrators can also use the adapter's support for load balancing and teaming to optimize performance further.
• Scalability: The adapter's scalability is another feature that empowers network administrators. The adapter can handle an increasing amount of network traffic as demand grows, making it an ideal solution for growing organizations. Network administrators can also use the adapter's support for virtualization to scale their network infrastructure as needed.
• Remote Management and Monitoring: The adapter's support for remote management and monitoring is another way it empowers network administrators. Network administrators can configure and manage the adapter remotely, which can save time and reduce the risk of errors that can occur when performing these tasks manually. The adapter's support for monitoring and reporting can also help network administrators to identify and troubleshoot network issues more quickly.
• Cost-Effective: Finally, the adapter's cost-effective pricing can empower network administrators to optimize their network infrastructure without breaking the budget. The adapter's support for multiple protocols on a single adapter can also help to reduce hardware and cabling costs.

Maximizing bandwidth is a critical goal for network administrators, and the HP 10GB StorageWorks CN1000E 2-Port Converged Network Adapter can help achieve this goal in several ways:

• High-Speed Connectivity: The adapter provides high-speed connectivity, enabling data centers to maximize bandwidth and improve performance. With a speed of up to 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s), the adapter can support high-bandwidth applications, such as data backup and storage, multimedia streaming, and virtualization.
• Load Balancing and Teaming: The adapter's support for load balancing and teaming can help to maximize bandwidth utilization. Load balancing distributes network traffic across multiple network interfaces, while teaming combines multiple network interfaces into a single logical interface. Both techniques can improve network performance and reliability by ensuring that network traffic is distributed evenly across all available network interfaces.
• Quality of Service (QoS): The adapter's support for QoS can help to maximize bandwidth utilization for critical applications. QoS is a technique that prioritizes network traffic based on the importance of the data being transmitted. This can ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth to operate effectively, even during periods of high network traffic.
• Jumbo Frames: The adapter's support for jumbo frames can help to maximize bandwidth utilization by reducing the amount of overhead in network traffic. Jumbo frames are packets with larger than normal size, which can reduce the amount of overhead associated with smaller packets. This can help to reduce network congestion and improve network performance.
• Virtualization: The adapter's support for virtualization can help to maximize bandwidth utilization by enabling multiple virtual machines to share the same network adapter. This can reduce the number of physical adapters needed and help to optimize bandwidth utilization.
