Description
Additional Features
The HPE 2-Ports 40GB QSFP+ V3 ZL2 Expansion Module (part number J9996A) provides a variety of additional features that can help to improve the performance and functionality of your network.
One of the key features of the module is its support for 40 Gb/s data transfer rates per port, which allows for fast and efficient data transfer, particularly for large-scale data-intensive workloads.
The module also supports Quality of Service (QoS) which allows for prioritizing different types of data traffic to ensure that mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.
It also supports Virtualization, which allows for the creation of virtual networks and the allocation of network resources to specific workloads, improving the flexibility and scalability of your network.
The module also supports advanced features like Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) which allows for teaming of multiple network ports to provide redundancy and increased bandwidth.
In addition, the module is hot-pluggable, which allows for easy installation and maintenance without the need to power down the server. This feature allows for easy replacement of the module without any disruption to the network.
Performance of Expansion Module
The HPE 2-Ports 40GB QSFP+ V3 ZL2 Expansion Module (part number J9996A) is designed to provide high-speed connectivity and data transfer rates for HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Storage devices. It supports data transfer rates of up to 40 Gb/s per port and supports full-duplex data transfers, which allows for simultaneous data transfers in both directions.
It also supports advanced features like Quality of Service (QoS) which allows for prioritizing different types of data traffic to ensure that mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.
The adapter’s performance will depend on the network traffic and the specific workloads that are running on the server. In general, it should provide reliable and fast data transfer rates for most standard workloads, but its performance may be limited in environments with heavy network traffic or large amounts of data to be transferred.
It is designed to be used with HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Storage devices, it can be used for applications that require high-speed connectivity and low-latency data transfers. Additionally, it is ideal for ProLiant servers that require additional Ethernet connectivity and support for data-intensive workloads, as well as for customers that require enhanced security, performance and reliability.
Compatibility and Interoperability
The HPE 2-Ports 40GB QSFP+ V3 ZL2 Expansion Module (part number J9996A) is designed to be compatible with a wide range of HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Storage devices. It can be used with HPE ProLiant DL, ML, and SL Series servers, and with HPE 3PAR, HPE Nimble, and HPE Primera storage arrays.
In terms of interoperability, the module supports various network protocols, including Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI), and Fibre Channel (FC). It supports Fibre Channel data transfer rates of up to 40 Gb/s, and it supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI protocols which allows it to connect to different types of storage systems and networks.
It also supports various network topologies, including point-to-point, fabric, and switched fabric, which allows for greater flexibility in network design and deployment.
It is also compatible with different operating systems like Windows, Linux, and VMware, which enables it to work with different types of servers.
