Description
Security Encryption Options
Security encryption options refer to the techniques and protocols used to secure data transmission over a network. The 700763-B21 HPE Flexfabric 20Gbps PCIe 3.0 Network Adapter supports a range of security encryption options to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data in transit.
One encryption option supported by the adapter is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a widely used symmetric encryption algorithm. AES provides strong encryption for data in transit and is considered one of the most secure encryption algorithms available. The adapter also supports AES encryption with the Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM), which provides additional authentication and integrity protection for data.
Another encryption option supported by the adapter is the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. These protocols provide secure communication between devices over a network, ensuring that data is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access. SSL and TLS are commonly used in web-based applications and services, and the adapter supports the latest versions of these protocols to ensure optimal security.
The adapter also supports the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) protocol, which provides secure communication between devices over a network by encrypting IP packets. IPsec is commonly used to secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, enabling secure communication between remote sites or workers. The adapter supports a range of IPsec protocols, including Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), which provide additional security features.
In addition to these encryption options, the adapter also supports other security features, such as Secure Boot, which ensures that only trusted firmware and software can be loaded on the adapter, and Access Control Lists (ACLs), which provide fine-grained control over network traffic and access.
Key Features and BenefitsHigh-Speed Connectivity
One of the primary features of the 700763-B21 is its impressive data transfer speed of 20Gbps. This high-speed connectivity ensures that your ProLiant server can handle data-intensive tasks, such as large file transfers, virtualization, and real-time data processing, with ease.
PCIe 3.0 Interface
The network adapter utilizes the PCIe 3.0 interface, which provides faster data transfer rates compared to its predecessors. This interface is compatible with a wide range of ProLiant servers and ensures seamless integration without bottlenecks.
Flexibility
The term “FlexFabric” in the product name signifies its flexibility in handling various network traffic types, including data, storage, and management traffic. This adaptability is essential in modern data center environments, where different types of traffic coexist.
Energy Efficiency
HPE has designed this network adapter with energy efficiency in mind. It comes with power management features that help reduce power consumption without compromising performance. This not only lowers operational costs but also contributes to a greener IT environment.
Enhanced Scalability
The 700763-B21 offers scalability options, allowing you to expand your network infrastructure as your business grows. It supports multiple network ports, enabling you to add more connections when needed, without the hassle of replacing the entire adapter.
Thermal considerations
Thermal considerations refer to the factors that affect the temperature of a server or system and the impact that temperature can have on the performance and reliability of the 700763-B21 HPE Flexfabric 20Gbps PCIe 3.0 Network Adapter for ProLiant. Excessive heat can cause a range of problems, including component failure, reduced performance, and system downtime. Therefore, it is important to consider thermal management when installing and using the HPE Flexfabric 20Gbps PCIe 3.0 Network Adapter.
One of the key thermal considerations when using the adapter is ensuring proper ventilation and airflow within the server chassis. The adapter generates heat during operation, and if the heat is not dissipated properly, it can build up within the server and cause the temperature to rise. This can be mitigated by ensuring that the server has adequate airflow and ventilation to allow for proper heat dissipation. Server racks and cabinets should also be designed with adequate ventilation to allow for the flow of cool air and the removal of hot air.
Another thermal consideration is the location of the server and the ambient temperature of the environment in which it is installed. Servers should be located in a temperature-controlled environment with a stable temperature range that is within the operating temperature range of the adapter. The operating temperature range of the HPE Flexfabric 20Gbps PCIe 3.0 Network Adapter is 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F), and it is important to ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed this range. Additionally, humidity and airflow should also be considered when installing the server to ensure that the environment is conducive to optimal system performance.
