Description
Product Overview of the PCI-E 3.0 X8 Host Channel Adapter
The HP 656089-001 is a high-performance host channel adapter designed to connect servers to InfiniBand networks. This adapter supports both FDR and EN InfiniBand technologies, offering a data transfer rate of up to 40GB per second. It is a two-port adapter that connects to the server via PCI-E 3.0 X8 interface. In this article, we will explore the features and benefits of the HP 656089-001 host channel adapter in detail.
InfiniBand Technology
InfiniBand is a high-speed network interconnect technology that provides high bandwidth, low latency, and scalable interconnectivity for servers and storage systems. InfiniBand networks are commonly used in high-performance computing (HPC) environments, such as scientific research, financial services, and oil and gas exploration, where data transfer rates and response times are critical.
FDR and EN InfiniBand Technologies
FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) and EN (Enhanced Data Rate) are two of the most popular InfiniBand technologies available today. FDR InfiniBand offers a data transfer rate of up to 56GB per second, while EN InfiniBand offers a data transfer rate of up to 40GB per second. Both technologies offer low latency and high bandwidth, making them ideal for HPC applications.
2-Port Adapter The HP 656089-001 host channel adapter is a two-port adapter that allows for dual connections to the InfiniBand network. This means that it can handle twice the amount of data transfer as a single-port adapter, making it ideal for high-volume data transfer applications.
PCI-E 3.0 X8 Interface
The HP 656089-001 host channel adapter connects to the server via PCI-E 3.0 X8 interface. PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that provides fast data transfer rates between devices. The PCI-E 3.0 X8 interface provides a bandwidth of up to 8GB per second per lane, allowing for fast and efficient data transfer between the adapter and the server.
544Qsfp Ports
The HP 656089-001 host channel adapter features 544Qsfp (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports. Qsfp is a high-density optical and electrical interconnect system that allows for multiple channels of data transfer in a single cable. The 544Qsfp ports on the HP 656089-001 host channel adapter allow for up to four data channels per port, providing high bandwidth and low latency connectivity to the InfiniBand network.
Benefits of the HP 656089-001 Host Channel Adapter
The HP 656089-001 host channel adapter offers several benefits to users in HPC environments, including:
- High-Speed Data Transfer: The HP 656089-001 host channel adapter supports both FDR and EN InfiniBand technologies, providing data transfer rates of up to 40GB per second. This allows for fast and efficient data transfer between the server and the InfiniBand network.
- Dual Port Connectivity: The HP 656089-001 host channel adapter is a two-port adapter, allowing for dual connections to the InfiniBand network. This provides redundancy and load balancing capabilities, ensuring that the network is always available and responsive.
