Description
Convergence and Unified Fabric Support
Convergence and unified fabric support are key features of the HPE Synergy 2820c 10GB Converged Network Adapter (CNA). These features allow the adapter to support multiple traffic types, including storage, data, and management traffic, over a single network fabric.
This capability is achieved through the use of technologies such as Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center Bridging (DCB), which enable the adapter to transport storage traffic over the Ethernet network, while ensuring that it is prioritized and delivered with low latency and high reliability.
By supporting convergence and unified fabric, the HPE Synergy 2820c 10GB CNA can reduce the number of adapters and cables required in a data center, simplifying network architecture and reducing costs. This can be particularly beneficial in virtualized environments, where the ability to consolidate network traffic can help optimize network performance and reduce network complexity.
The convergence and unified fabric support of the HPE Synergy 2820c 10GB CNA enables it to support multiple traffic types over a single network fabric, helping to simplify network architecture and reduce costs while maintaining high levels of performance and reliability.
Quality of Service (QoS) Features
The Quality of Service (QoS) features of the HPE Synergy 2820c 10GB Converged Network Adapter (CNA) allow for the prioritization of traffic to ensure that critical traffic is delivered with the highest levels of performance and reliability.
QoS enables the adapter to classify traffic based on a range of factors, such as application type, source and destination address, and protocol, and assign different levels of priority to each traffic class. This allows for the creation of traffic classes that can be treated with different levels of importance and urgency based on the specific needs of the applications running on the network.
In addition, the HPE Synergy 2820c 10GB CNA supports a range of QoS protocols, including IEEE 802.1p, Differentiated Services (DiffServ), and Priority Flow Control (PFC), which allows for a high degree of flexibility in setting QoS policies.
The QoS features of the HPE Synergy 2820c 10GB CNA can be particularly beneficial in environments where there are multiple applications running on the network with different performance requirements. By prioritizing traffic and ensuring that critical traffic is delivered with the highest levels of performance and reliability, QoS can help to optimize network performance and ensure that applications run smoothly.
