Description
Network Protocol Support for Flexible Deployment
The 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter is designed to support a wide range of network protocols, making it a flexible solution for deployment in various environments.
The adapter supports Infiniband protocol, which is a high-performance interconnect technology used to connect various computing and storage systems, such as servers, storage devices, and clusters. The Infiniband protocol provides low latency, high bandwidth, and high-speed data transfers, making it ideal for demanding applications that require fast and efficient data processing.
Additionally, the adapter supports the Message Passing Interface (MPI) protocol, which is widely used in high-performance computing (HPC) environments. MPI is a standardized communication protocol that allows multiple processors or nodes in a cluster to communicate with each other and work together to solve complex problems.
The 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter also supports the RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) protocol, which is used to enable direct memory access between servers over Ethernet networks. RoCE is particularly useful in data center environments, as it can reduce the latency and overhead associated with traditional TCP/IP networking.
Moreover, the adapter supports a range of operating systems and hypervisors, including Linux, Windows, and VMware, which makes it easy to integrate into various types of IT infrastructures.
The support for multiple network protocols in the 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter provides flexibility in deployment and enables it to be used in various applications and environments, including HPC clusters, data centers, and enterprise-level computing systems.
Power Consumption and Thermal Considerations
The 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter is designed to consume minimal power and provide efficient thermal management to ensure stable and reliable operation.
The adapter consumes up to 17.6 watts of power per port, which is relatively low compared to other high-speed networking adapters. This low power consumption is achieved through the use of advanced power management techniques, including intelligent power monitoring, thermal throttling, and dynamic power control.
Moreover, the adapter features advanced thermal management capabilities, including a dedicated heatsink and a thermal sensor that monitors the temperature of the adapter. The thermal sensor can adjust the adapter’s performance and power consumption based on the operating temperature, ensuring optimal performance while minimizing the risk of thermal damage.
Additionally, the 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter is designed to be installed in standard PCIe slots and can be integrated into standard server systems. This makes it easy to install and use in existing IT infrastructures, without the need for any additional power or cooling infrastructure.
The power consumption and thermal considerations of the 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter are optimized for efficient and reliable operation, making it a cost-effective and practical solution for high-speed networking applications in data centers, HPC clusters, and enterprise-level computing systems.
Management and Monitoring Capabilities
The 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter comes with comprehensive management and monitoring capabilities to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
The adapter supports industry-standard network management protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON), allowing administrators to monitor and manage the adapter remotely. The adapter also includes advanced diagnostic capabilities, such as built-in tests and monitoring tools, that can help administrators detect and troubleshoot issues.
Moreover, the adapter is designed to be integrated with HPE’s System Management Homepage (SMH) and HPE OneView management software. These tools provide a central management interface that allows administrators to manage multiple adapters and servers from a single dashboard. SMH provides real-time information on the adapter’s performance, power consumption, and temperature, while OneView enables administrators to automate tasks and streamline workflows.
The 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter also supports the HPE Intelligent Networking Pack (INP) software, which provides advanced networking features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and network virtualization. INP also includes advanced security features, such as encryption and authentication, to protect data in transit.
In addition, the adapter comes with HPE’s Smart Update Manager (SUM) software, which enables administrators to update the adapter’s firmware and drivers quickly and easily. This software ensures that the adapter is always up-to-date with the latest security patches and performance enhancements.
The management and monitoring capabilities of the 844381-001 HPE 840z 2 Port 100GB Infiniband Adapter provide administrators with the tools they need to manage and monitor the adapter efficiently and effectively, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
