656596-B21 HPE 10GB PCI-E 530T 10 Gigabit Ethernet Dual New

Powerful Addition

The 656596-B21 HPE 10GB PCIE 530T Ethernet Dual Ports 10 Gigabit Adapter is a powerful addition to any network infrastructure that requires high-speed data transfer and reliable connectivity. This adapter is designed to support the latest 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards, providing fast and efficient data transfer for applications such as virtualization, cloud computing, and big data analytics.

The 656596-B21 adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) card that can be installed in a server or workstation, providing dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed connectivity to other devices or networks. The adapter also supports advanced features such as jumbo frames and VLAN tagging, making it ideal for use in virtualized environments and data centers.

One of the key advantages of this adapter is its ability to offload network processing tasks from the host CPU, which can improve overall system performance and reduce power consumption. Additionally, this adapter is designed to be compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware, which makes it easy to integrate into existing networks.

Maximize Network Speed and Reliability

The 656596-B21 HPE 10GB PCIE 530T Ethernet Dual Ports 10 Gigabit Adapter is designed to maximize network speed and reliability. Here are a few ways to achieve this:

• Link aggregation: By using both ports in a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), the adapter can provide increased bandwidth and redundancy. This allows for multiple connections to be combined into a single virtual connection, providing a higher level of network availability.
• Multi-path I/O: By using both ports in a Multi-path I/O (MPIO) configuration, the adapter can provide increased reliability and availability for data storage and backup. This allows for multiple paths to a storage device, providing a higher level of network availability.
• Network failover: By using both ports in a failover configuration, the adapter can provide redundancy in case one port fails. This allows for automatic switching to the secondary port in case of a failure, providing a higher level of network availability.
• Make sure to use high-quality cables, if the cables are low quality it could cause a high level of packet loss and slow down the speed of the network.
• Use of Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize traffic and ensure that high-priority traffic is given priority over less-critical traffic.
• Regularly check for firmware updates and apply them to keep the adapter running at its optimal performance.

It is important to note that the 656596-B21 HPE 10GB PCIE 530T Ethernet Dual Ports 10 Gigabit Adapter is a network adapter and may require additional equipment and configurations to function properly. It is recommended to consult with a network administrator or IT professional before implementing these suggestions.

Performance and scalability

The 656596-B21 HPE 10GB PCIE 530T Ethernet Dual Ports 10 Gigabit Adapter offers high performance and scalability for network connectivity. Some of the performance and scalability features of this adapter include:

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet: The adapter supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) speeds, which allows for faster data transfer and improved network performance.
• PCI Express 3.0: The adapter is designed for use with the PCI Express 3.0 interface, which provides increased bandwidth and improved performance compared to earlier versions of PCI Express.
• TCP/IP offload engine: The adapter includes a TCP/IP offload engine (TOE), which helps to offload network processing tasks from the host CPU, resulting in improved network performance.
• Jumbo frames support: The adapter supports jumbo frames, which allows for larger packet sizes and improved performance for high-bandwidth applications.

The 656596-B21 HPE 10GB PCIE 530T Ethernet Dual Ports 10 Gigabit Adapter can also be used in a variety of network environments, including:

• High-performance computing (HPC)
• Cloud computing
• Storage area networks (SANs)
• Virtualization

It is important to note that the performance and scalability of the 656596-B21 HPE 10GB PCIE 530T Ethernet Dual Ports 10 Gigabit Adapter may also depend on the specific network environment and configurations. It is recommended to consult with a network administrator or IT professional for more information about the performance and scalability of this adapter.
