Description
Benefits of 100GB Ethernet Connectivity
The HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet 100GB 2-Port 840QSFP28 Adapter provides 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity, which offers several benefits:
- Increased Bandwidth: 100 GbE provides significantly more bandwidth compared to lower-speed Ethernet connections. This increase in bandwidth allows for faster data transfer rates and reduces the time required for data-intensive applications to complete.
- Reduced Latency: 100 GbE offers reduced latency compared to lower-speed Ethernet connections. This is important in real-time applications where response time is critical, such as financial trading systems or high-performance computing clusters.
- Improved Data Center Efficiency: By consolidating multiple lower-speed connections onto a single 100 GbE link, organizations can reduce the number of cables, switches, and adapters needed in their data center. This consolidation simplifies cabling and reduces the overall power and cooling requirements of the data center.
- Enhanced Virtualization: 100 GbE can improve the performance of virtualized applications by providing greater bandwidth and lower latency. This is important in large virtualized environments where multiple virtual machines may be competing for network resources.
- Future-Proofing: 100 GbE provides a high-speed Ethernet connection that can support the increasing demands of modern data center applications. By adopting 100 GbE, organizations can ensure their infrastructure is ready for future growth and new technologies.

- Engineering Design: HPC is commonly used in engineering design to run simulations and optimize product designs. Examples include aerodynamic modeling, structural analysis, and fluid dynamics simulations.
- Genome Sequencing: Genome sequencing generates vast amounts of data that must be processed quickly. HPC is used to analyze this data, and the HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet adapter provides high-speed network connectivity to transfer the data to and from the compute nodes.
The HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet adapter provides the high-speed, low-latency network connectivity required for HPC applications to run efficiently and effectively.
Network Convergence and Consolidation
Network convergence and consolidation refer to the process of combining multiple networks, such as storage and data networks, onto a single network infrastructure. The HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet 100GB 2-Port 840QSFP28 Adapter is well-suited for network convergence and consolidation due to its high-speed connectivity and ability to support multiple protocols.
By consolidating networks onto a single infrastructure, organizations can simplify their network architecture, reduce costs, and improve network efficiency. The HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet adapter supports both Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols, which allows for the consolidation of both storage and data networks onto a single network.
In addition, the high-speed 100 GbE connectivity provided by the HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet adapter enables faster data transfer rates and reduces the time required for data-intensive applications to complete. This can improve application performance and reduce network congestion.
The HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet adapter also supports advanced networking features such as Quality of Service (QoS), which allows organizations to prioritize network traffic based on application requirements. This ensures that mission-critical applications receive the necessary network resources, even in a converged network environment.
The HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet adapter provides the high-speed, flexible network connectivity required for network convergence and consolidation, allowing organizations to simplify their network architecture and reduce costs.
