This 100M transceiver, manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), is designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and high-performance computing environments. This detailed guide aims to unravel the intricacies of the HPE 720187-B21 transceiver, exploring its features, technical specifications, and practical applications.
HPE 720187-B21 OverviewAt its core, the HPE 720187-B21 is a transceiver module engineered to facilitate high-speed data transfer within a network. The "40GB QSFP+ SR4" designation indicates its compatibility with 40 gigabits per second (Gbps) networks, utilizing a Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) interface. The "SR4" specifies its implementation of Short Range (SR) technology, allowing for reliable communication over short distances.
BladeSystem C-Class CompatibilityThe designation "Bladesystem C-Class" highlights the compatibility of the HPE 720187-B21 with HPE's Bladesystem infrastructure. The Bladesystem is renowned for its modular design, allowing organizations to build scalable and flexible data center solutions. This transceiver seamlessly integrates with BladeSystem C-Class architecture, enhancing the overall connectivity of the system.
40GB QSFP+ InterfaceThe QSFP+ interface is a key feature of the HPE 720187-B21 transceiver, providing a high-speed, compact solution for data transfer. With a capacity of 40Gbps, this interface is well-suited for data-intensive applications, such as high-performance computing, virtualization, and large-scale data storage.
SR4 Technology for Short-Range CommunicationThe SR4 designation signifies Short Range technology, indicating that the transceiver is optimized for communication over relatively short distances. This makes the HPE 720187-B21 ideal for connections within a data center or between closely located network components. The SR4 implementation ensures reliable and high-bandwidth communication over short links.
Transmission RangeThe 100M specification denotes a transmission range of 100 meters. This means that the HPE 720187-B21 is specifically designed for short-distance connections, making it suitable for intra-rack or inter-rack communications within a data center environment.
Form Factor and ConnectivityExamining the physical attributes of the transceiver is crucial for understanding its compatibility with networking equipment. The HPE 720187-B21 adopts a QSFP+ form factor, ensuring compatibility with devices designed to accommodate this specific interface. The module's design enables hot swapping, allowing for easy and non-disruptive installation or replacement.
Multi-mode Fiber CompatibilityTo achieve short-range communication capabilities, the HPE 720187-B21 transceiver utilizes multi-mode fiber optics. Multi-mode fibers enable the transmission of multiple light modes, supporting the high data rates required for 40Gbps connectivity over short distances.
Data Center Networking
The HPE 720187-B21 transceiver finds extensive application in data center networking scenarios. Its compatibility with BladeSystem C-Class and 40Gbps capacity makes it an ideal choice for connecting servers, switches, and storage devices within a data center environment. The short-range capability is well-suited for the compact and densely populated layout of modern data centers.
High-Performance Computing
In the realm of high-performance computing (HPC), where rapid data transfer is essential for processing complex calculations, the HPE 720187-B21 plays a crucial role. Its 40Gbps capacity ensures that the interconnection between HPC nodes is not a bottleneck, contributing to the overall efficiency of computational tasks.
Virtualization Environments
Virtualized environments demand robust and high-speed connectivity to support the fluid movement of virtual machines and data. The HPE 720187-B21, with its QSFP+ interface and short-range capabilities, provides the necessary performance for virtualization setups, enhancing the agility and responsiveness of virtualized infrastructure.
