Network Connectivity Options and Interfaces
The 792834-001 HPE Ethernet 10GB 2 Port 557sfp Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) that provides high-speed Ethernet connectivity options for servers and other networked devices.
This adapter supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) data transfer rates, which is a significant improvement over traditional Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) connections. This high speed enables faster data transfers and reduces latency, making it ideal for demanding applications such as data center and virtualization workloads.
The adapter comes with two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, which allow for the use of either fiber optic or copper cables. SFP+ modules provide flexibility to choose the appropriate cable type based on the network requirements. This enables easy upgrades and migrations to new network infrastructures.
The 557sfp adapter is designed to work with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) servers and has been extensively tested and validated to ensure maximum compatibility and performance. It supports various operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, VMware, and others.
Performance Metrics and Throughput
The HPE Ethernet 10GB 2 Port 557sfp Adapter is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed to provide high-speed connectivity for servers and other network devices. This adapter supports two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which can be used for network aggregation, load balancing, and redundancy.
Performance Metrics:
- Network Speed: The HPE Ethernet 10GB 2 Port 557sfp Adapter supports a network speed of 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps), which is ten times faster than traditional Gigabit Ethernet.
- Low Latency: The adapter has low latency, which means it can process network traffic quickly, reducing the time it takes for data to move between network devices.
- CPU Utilization: The adapter offloads network processing tasks from the CPU, which can reduce CPU utilization and improve overall system performance.
Throughput: The maximum theoretical throughput of the HPE Ethernet 10GB 2 Port 557sfp Adapter is 20 Gbps, which is the combined bandwidth of its two 10 Gbps Ethernet ports. However, the actual throughput that can be achieved will depend on several factors, including:
- Network topology: The number and types of devices connected to the network, the network topology, and the quality of the cabling can all impact network throughput.
- Network traffic: The amount and type of network traffic being generated can also impact throughput. The more network traffic there is, the more likely it is that the adapter will become a bottleneck.
- Other system resources: The throughput of the adapter can also be impacted by other system resources, such as the CPU, memory, and disk I/O. If these resources are heavily utilized, they may limit the amount of data that can be processed by the adapter.
In general, the HPE Ethernet 10GB 2 Port 557sfp Adapter is designed to provide high-speed and low-latency network connectivity for servers and other network devices. Its performance metrics and throughput make it suitable for use in data centers and other high-performance computing environments where fast and reliable network connectivity is critical.
