779243-B21 HPE Infiniband FDR/ETHEARNET 10GB/40GB Dual-Ports 544+A8l Adapter. Refurbished.

The 779243-B21 HPE Infiniband FDR/ETHERNET 10GB/40GB Dual-Ports 544+FLR Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) designed for use in high-performance computing environments. The adapter supports both InfiniBand FDR and Ethernet 10Gb/40Gb protocols, allowing for flexible connectivity options.

The adapter features two dual-port 40Gb Ethernet/ FDR InfiniBand ports, enabling the transfer of data at very high speeds. This makes it ideal for use in applications that require high-bandwidth data transfer, such as scientific research, data analytics, and financial modeling.

The adapter also comes with advanced network features that enable it to optimize data transfer and enhance network performance. Some of these advanced features include:

• Quality of Service (QoS): This feature allows the adapter to prioritize network traffic based on predefined rules, ensuring that high-priority traffic is given priority over other traffic.
• RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE): This feature enables low-latency, high-speed data transfer between servers, making it ideal for use in applications that require real-time data processing, such as high-frequency trading.
• Ethernet Storage Fabric (ESF): This feature provides a high-performance, low-latency, and scalable storage networking solution that supports Ethernet-based storage protocols, such as iSCSI and NFS.
• Congestion Control: This feature helps prevent network congestion by detecting and reacting to congestion before it affects network performance.

The HPE Infiniband FDR/Ethernet 10GB/40GB Dual-Ports 544+FLR Adapter, with part number 779243-B21, is a high-performance network adapter that supports both Infiniband and Ethernet protocols. It is designed for use in HPE ProLiant servers and provides two dual-port 40Gb/s Infiniband interfaces and two dual-port 10Gb/s Ethernet interfaces.

This adapter is equipped with advanced management and monitoring features that enable network administrators to optimize the performance of their network infrastructure. The adapter is compatible with several HPE management and monitoring tools, including HPE Systems Insight Manager (SIM), HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), and HPE Intelligent Provisioning.

With HPE SIM, network administrators can monitor the status of the adapter and other network devices from a single console, simplifying management tasks and reducing downtime. The adapter also supports HPE iLO, which allows administrators to remotely manage and troubleshoot server issues, including network-related problems.

In addition to these management and monitoring tools, the adapter also supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which enables administrators to monitor the adapter’s performance and configure alerts for events such as link failures or high traffic levels.

Performance and Scalability

The 779243-B21 HPE Infiniband FDR/Ethernet 10Gb/40Gb Dual-Ports 544+FLR Adapter is a network interface card designed to provide high-performance networking connectivity for HPE servers. It is equipped with two ports, one for Infiniband FDR and another for Ethernet 10Gb/40Gb, allowing for versatile connectivity options.

The adapter supports Infiniband FDR technology, which offers a high-speed interconnect solution for high-performance computing (HPC) and enterprise data centers. FDR Infiniband supports data transfer rates of up to 56 Gbps, enabling faster data movement between nodes in a cluster, resulting in improved application performance and reduced latency.

In addition to Infiniband FDR, the adapter also supports Ethernet 10Gb/40Gb, which provides high-bandwidth connectivity for applications that require large data transfers, such as virtualization, cloud computing, and big data analytics.

The 779243-B21 adapter is designed with the 544+FLR chipset, which provides advanced features such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), virtualization support, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities. These features enable improved network performance, reduced latency, and enhanced reliability for mission-critical applications.

Regarding scalability, the 779243-B21 adapter supports multi-pathing, enabling multiple adapters to be connected for increased redundancy and improved performance. Additionally, the adapter supports switch-independent teaming, allowing multiple adapters to be teamed together to create a higher bandwidth link.
