Description
Exceptional Reliability
The HPE Synergy 3820C 10/20GB Converged Network Adapter is a type of network interface card that is designed to provide high-speed connectivity and exceptional reliability in data center environments. The product code 763341-001 is specific to a particular model or version of this adapter.
The HPE Synergy 3820C adapter supports both Ethernet and Fibre Channel protocols, which allows it to be used for various networking applications, including storage area networks (SANs), converged networks, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
One of the key features of this adapter is its exceptional reliability. It is designed to deliver reliable and consistent performance even in high-demand environments. The adapter uses advanced technologies such as hardware acceleration, intelligent offloads, and quality of service (QoS) capabilities to ensure that data is transmitted quickly and reliably.
In addition, the HPE Synergy 3820C adapter has built-in redundancy features, including multiple network ports and failover capabilities, which help to ensure that network connections remain available even in the event of a hardware or software failure.
Advanced Technologies
The 763341-001 HPE Synergy 3820C 10/20GB Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed for HPE Synergy blade servers. It is a converged adapter, meaning it can support both Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic on the same physical link, using the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol.
The 3820C is equipped with advanced technologies that help to optimize network performance and reduce latency. One such technology is RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), which allows data to be transferred directly from the adapter’s memory to the application’s memory, bypassing the operating system and reducing CPU overhead. This can result in lower latency and improved application performance.
Another technology is Network Virtualization offload, which supports virtual machine (VM) mobility and allows VMs to be moved between servers without disrupting network connections. This is achieved by virtualizing the network interface card and creating virtual adapters for each VM, which can be moved along with the VM.
The 3820C also supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, which can prioritize traffic and allocate bandwidth based on application requirements. This can ensure that critical applications receive the necessary network resources and prevent congestion and performance degradation.
Resiliency and High Availability
The HPE Synergy 3820C 10/20GB Converged Network Adapter is a network adapter card that provides high-speed network connectivity for HPE Synergy infrastructure. The card supports 10GB Ethernet and 20GB Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), which allows for efficient data transfer and reduced network congestion.
Resiliency and high availability are key features of the HPE Synergy 3820C adapter. Resiliency refers to the adapter’s ability to recover quickly from failures or errors. This means that if one component of the adapter fails, the adapter can continue to function by using redundant components. For example, if one port of the adapter fails, the other ports can continue to provide network connectivity.
High availability refers to the adapter’s ability to provide uninterrupted network connectivity even in the event of a failure. The HPE Synergy 3820C adapter uses several techniques to achieve high availability. For example, the adapter supports link aggregation, which combines multiple network connections into a single logical connection. If one connection fails, the remaining connections can continue to provide network connectivity.
The adapter also supports Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology, which allows for the creation of multiple virtual connections from a single physical connection. This means that if one virtual connection fails, the remaining virtual connections can continue to function.
