Description
Converged Network Capabilities
The HP Nc551m Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Converged Network Adapter provides converged network capabilities, enabling data centers to consolidate their networks and simplify their infrastructures. The adapter allows for the convergence of LAN, SAN, and high-performance computing (HPC) traffic onto a single network fabric.
This convergence is achieved by using the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol, which allows Fibre Channel traffic to be encapsulated and transmitted over Ethernet networks. This eliminates the need for separate Fibre Channel switches and cables, resulting in reduced costs, simplified management, and increased efficiency.
In addition to FCoE, the adapter also supports other converged protocols, such as iSCSI and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), enabling further consolidation of network traffic. The adapter provides a flexible and scalable solution that can be customized to meet the unique needs of each data center.
High-Speed Connectivity
The 580153-001 HP NC551m Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Converged Network Adapter provides high-speed connectivity for servers and storage devices. It uses the PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface to provide a high-speed connection to the host system, which allows for faster data transfer rates and reduced latency.
The adapter supports 10Gb Ethernet and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) protocols, allowing it to be used for both LAN and SAN traffic. This convergence of network traffic can reduce the number of adapters and cables needed in the server, which can simplify the server configuration and reduce costs.
The NC551m adapter also supports SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization), which allows a physical NIC to be partitioned into multiple virtual NICs, each with its own MAC address and VLAN tag. This can improve server efficiency by allowing virtual machines to directly access the network without going through the hypervisor, which can reduce CPU overhead.
In addition to 10Gb Ethernet and FCoE, the adapter also supports iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface), which is a protocol used for storage area networks (SANs). This allows the adapter to be used for both L
