Description
Integration with Virtualized Environments
HPE C8S98A is a Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy that provides virtualized network connectivity for HPE Synergy Compute Modules. This module offers up to 24 internal and external 40 Gb Ethernet ports for HPE Synergy Compute Modules and enables seamless integration with virtualized environments.
With HPE C8S98A, virtualized environments can be easily integrated and managed through the HPE OneView management platform. This enables IT administrators to configure, monitor, and manage network connectivity across virtualized environments with ease.
The HPE C8S98A module supports multiple virtual networks and VLANs, allowing IT administrators to create separate logical networks for different applications and workloads. This enables better management of network traffic and reduces the risk of network congestion.
The module also supports advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS), which ensures that critical applications get the required network bandwidth and latency, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which enables the aggregation of multiple physical links to form a high-speed virtual link.
HPE C8S98A is an ideal solution for virtualized environments that require high-performance, scalable, and flexible network connectivity.
Power Requirements and Consumption
HPE C8S98A Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module has specific power requirements and consumption specifications that need to be taken into account when deploying it in a data center or other IT infrastructure.
The HPE C8S98A module requires a power supply that can deliver 250 watts of power at 12 volts DC. The maximum power consumption of the module is 300 watts. However, the actual power consumption depends on the number of ports in use, the type of transceivers installed, and the network traffic.
In terms of power redundancy, the HPE C8S98A module supports both AC and DC power input. It also supports dual power supply modules for redundant power supply. In addition, the module has built-in power management features that optimize power usage and reduce energy costs.
To monitor the power consumption and temperature of the HPE C8S98A module, HPE OneView provides a real-time power and thermal dashboard that displays the power consumption and temperature of the module, as well as the power consumption and temperature of the individual ports.
HPE C8S98A Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module is designed to deliver high-performance and reliable network connectivity while minimizing power consumption and reducing energy costs. It is a suitable solution for data centers and other IT infrastructures that require high-speed and low-latency network connectivity.
