Description
521T Network Adapter
The HPE Ethernet 10GB 2 Port 521T Network Adapter is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed for servers and workstations. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking and provides two 10GbE ports in a single adapter, allowing for high-speed data transfers and low-latency network connectivity.
The 521T Network Adapter uses a PCI Express 3.0 interface and supports the latest network standards and protocols, including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, IEEE 802.3x flow control, and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation. It also supports jumbo frames, allowing for the transfer of large amounts of data in a single packet.
The adapter is designed for use with a range of operating systems, including Windows Server, Linux, VMware, and Citrix XenServer. It provides high levels of performance and reliability, with support for TCP/IP offloading, which reduces CPU utilization and improves network performance.
The 521T Network Adapter also includes advanced management features, such as support for HPE Systems Insight Manager, which allows for centralized management and monitoring of network adapters across an entire data center. It also includes support for HPE SmartStart, which enables quick and easy installation and configuration.
Enterprise Reliability
Enterprise reliability refers to the ability of a network component, such as the HPE Ethernet 10GB 2Port 521T Network Adapter, to provide consistent and reliable performance in enterprise environments. Enterprise networks typically have high traffic volume and demand, making it critical for network components to be reliable and capable of handling the demands of the network.
The 521T Network Adapter is designed with enterprise reliability in mind, providing features and capabilities that help ensure high performance and availability. Here are some examples of how the 521T Network Adapter provides enterprise reliability:
