Description
10 Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
The HPE Storefabric CN1200E 2 Port 10GB Converged Network Adapter (827607-001) provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity, which allows for fast data transfer rates and low latency in high-performance computing environments.
10 GbE is a networking standard that provides 10 times the bandwidth of traditional Gigabit Ethernet. This increased bandwidth allows for faster data transfer rates and reduced latency, which is essential in modern data centers where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly.
The CN1200E adapter provides 10 GbE connectivity through two ports, which allows for high-speed networking between servers, storage devices, and other network resources. The adapter is also compatible with both copper and fiber cabling, providing flexibility in network design and deployment.
With its 10 GbE connectivity, the CN1200E adapter is ideal for use in high-performance computing environments, such as data centers, financial institutions, and scientific research facilities. The increased bandwidth and low latency provided by 10 GbE allows for faster data processing, reduced application latency, and improved overall performance.
In addition to its 10 GbE connectivity, the CN1200E adapter also supports Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), which allows for converged networking and reduced infrastructure costs. This makes the CN1200E adapter an ideal solution for modern data centers that require high-performance networking capabilities.
Support for Converged Enhanced Ethernet
The HPE Storefabric CN1200E 2 Port 10GB Converged Network Adapter (827607-001) supports Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), which is a set of Ethernet extensions that provide a converged networking solution.
CEE enables the convergence of multiple types of traffic over a single Ethernet connection, including data, storage, and management traffic. This convergence reduces the number of network adapters required in a system, as well as the amount of cabling needed to connect those adapters, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the network infrastructure.
The CN1200E adapter supports CEE through its 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity, which provides the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for converged networking. The adapter also supports the Data Center Bridging (DCB) suite of protocols, which includes Priority Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and Congestion Notification (CN).
PFC provides a mechanism for lossless transmission of data traffic, while ETS allows for the allocation of bandwidth to different types of traffic based on priority. CN provides congestion control by detecting and preventing network congestion before it occurs.
By supporting CEE and the DCB suite of protocols, the CN1200E adapter provides a converged networking solution that enables the consolidation of multiple network types over a single Ethernet connection. This reduces the complexity and cost of the network infrastructure, while also providing high-performance networking capabilities for modern data centers.
Compatibility with HPE OneView for Easy Management
The HPE Storefabric CN1200E 2 Port 10GB Converged Network Adapter (827607-001) is compatible with HPE OneView, which is a converged infrastructure management platform that simplifies the management of HPE servers, storage, and networking devices.
HPE OneView provides a single interface for managing and monitoring HPE infrastructure components, including servers, storage devices, and networking adapters, such as the CN1200E adapter. This enables IT administrators to simplify their daily operations by reducing the need for multiple management interfaces and tools.
With the CN1200E adapter’s compatibility with HPE OneView, administrators can easily manage and monitor the adapter’s performance, configuration, and firmware updates through the OneView dashboard. This simplifies the deployment, configuration, and management of the adapter, which saves time and reduces the risk of errors.
HPE OneView also provides features such as automatic firmware updates, performance monitoring, and alert notifications, which ensure that the CN1200E adapter is always up to date and performing optimally. This helps to maximize the uptime and reliability of the network infrastructure.
By leveraging HPE OneView’s management capabilities, organizations can streamline their infrastructure management processes and reduce the time and effort required to manage their networking devices. This enables IT teams to focus on more strategic initiatives, such as improving application performance and enhancing security, rather than spending time on routine maintenance tasks.
