Reliability and Redundancy Features
The HPE Synergy 2820C 10GB Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance network interface card designed for use in HPE Synergy composable infrastructure environments. It is designed to provide reliable and redundant connectivity for critical workloads and applications.
The following are some of the reliability and redundancy features of the 794538-B21 HPE Synergy 2820C 10GB Converged Network Adapter:
- Dual-port connectivity: The adapter features two 10Gb Ethernet ports, which provide redundancy in case of a port or cable failure. This ensures that network connectivity is maintained even if one of the ports or cables fails.
- Network fault tolerance: The adapter supports Network Fault Tolerance (NFT), which allows it to automatically switch to a standby network connection in case of a network failure. This ensures that critical workloads and applications remain available even in the event of a network failure.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The adapter supports Quality of Service (QoS), which allows network traffic to be prioritized based on the application or service being used. This ensures that critical workloads and applications receive the necessary bandwidth and network resources they need to operate effectively.
- Link aggregation: The adapter supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which allows multiple physical connections to be aggregated into a single logical connection. This provides increased bandwidth and redundancy by allowing traffic to be distributed across multiple physical connections.
- Redundant firmware images: The adapter has redundant firmware images, which ensures that it can be recovered in case of a firmware corruption or failure.
