Description
PCI Express Passthrough
PCI Express Passthrough, also known as PCIe Passthrough, is a technology that allows direct access to a physical PCI Express device from a virtual machine. This technology is commonly used in virtualized environments where multiple virtual machines share a single physical server with one or more PCI Express devices.
The HPE part number 834147-001 refers to a specific PCIe Passthrough card manufactured by HPE. This card provides direct access to a physical PCIe device, such as a network adapter or a storage controller, from a virtual machine running on a host server. The PCIe Passthrough card acts as a bridge between the physical device and the virtual machine, allowing the virtual machine to communicate with the device as if it were directly connected to it.
This technology is particularly useful in scenarios where high performance or low latency is required, such as in virtualized environments running high-performance computing workloads, or in virtualized storage environments where direct access to storage controllers is necessary for performance or compatibility reasons.
PCIe Passthrough technology allows virtual machines to access and use physical PCIe devices as if they were directly connected to the virtual machine, providing flexibility and performance benefits in virtualized environments.
Dual Port Configuration for Maximum Performance
The Dual Port Configuration for Maximum Performance is a feature of the HPE PCIe Passthrough card with part number 834147-001.
This feature allows the card to operate in a dual port mode, which enables the card to handle twice the amount of data throughput as a single port configuration. This is accomplished by providing two independent PCI Express ports on the card, each of which can be connected to a separate physical device.
In a dual port configuration, both ports can be configured to provide direct access to different physical PCIe devices, such as network adapters or storage controllers, simultaneously. This means that two virtual machines running on a host server can each have direct access to a physical device, resulting in increased performance and reduced latency.
Additionally, in some scenarios where redundancy or failover is required, a dual port configuration can be used to provide redundant connections to a single physical device. This can provide increased reliability in mission-critical environments.
The Dual Port Configuration for Maximum Performance is a feature that allows the HPE PCIe Passthrough card to handle higher data throughput and provide increased performance and flexibility in virtualized environments.
Mezzanine Card Compatibility with HPE BladeSystems
The HPE PCIe Passthrough card with part number 834147-001 is a mezzanine card designed to be compatible with HPE BladeSystems.
Mezzanine cards are expansion cards that are designed to be inserted into specialized slots on a motherboard or system board, such as those found on HPE BladeSystems. Mezzanine cards are typically smaller than full-sized expansion cards and are designed to fit into a specific slot on the motherboard.
The HPE PCIe Passthrough card with part number 834147-001 is specifically designed to fit into the mezzanine slot of an HPE BladeSystem server, providing direct access to physical PCI Express devices from virtual machines running on the server. This card is designed to work with HPE BladeSystem servers that have mezzanine slots compatible with PCIe Gen3 technology.
The HPE PCIe Passthrough card is compatible with a wide range of physical PCI Express devices, including network adapters, storage controllers, and other high-performance devices. The card is designed to work with a variety of operating systems and virtualization platforms, including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM.
The HPE PCIe Passthrough card with part number 834147-001 is a mezzanine card designed to be compatible with HPE BladeSystems, providing direct access to physical PCI Express devices from virtual machines running on the server. This card is an ideal solution for virtualized environments that require high performance and low latency access to physical devices.
