Description
Product Overview
The HPE Mellanox MCX631432AS-ADAI Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Ports SFP28 OCP3 Adapter, also known as part number P42933-001, is a high-performance network adapter that can provide reliable connectivity for enterprise-level data centers. In this article, we will delve into the technical specifications and features of this adapter, and how it can enhance the performance of data center networks.
High-Speed Networking for Data Centers
Data centers need high-speed networking to keep up with the increasing demand for faster data transfer rates. The HPE Mellanox MCX631432AS-ADAI Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Ports SFP28 OCP3 Adapter can provide speeds of up to 25GB per second, making it ideal for use in modern data centers. This adapter is compatible with Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0, which means it can be easily integrated into existing network infrastructure.
Two-Port Connectivity
The HPE Mellanox MCX631432AS-ADAI Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Ports SFP28 OCP3 Adapter comes with two ports, which allows for increased flexibility when configuring network topologies. These ports are SFP28 ports, which means they support small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. SFP transceivers allow for easy and flexible connectivity options, as they can be easily swapped out for different types of transceivers depending on the network requirements.
Low Latency and High Throughput
In addition to high-speed connectivity, the HPE Mellanox MCX631432AS-ADAI Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Ports SFP28 OCP3 Adapter provides low latency and high throughput. Low latency is essential for applications that require real-time data transfer, such as financial trading and online gaming. High throughput ensures that data can be transferred quickly and efficiently, without any bottlenecks in the network.
Advanced Network Offloading
The HPE Mellanox MCX631432AS-ADAI Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Ports SFP28 OCP3 Adapter comes with advanced network offloading capabilities. These offloading capabilities include RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), TCP/IP offload engine (TOE), and virtualization offload. These features offload certain network processing tasks from the CPU, which can help reduce latency and improve overall network performance.
RoCE is a protocol that allows for high-speed data transfer over Ethernet networks with low latency and low CPU overhead. TOE offloads TCP/IP processing tasks from the CPU, which can improve network performance for TCP/IP-based applications. Virtualization offload allows for the creation of virtual network interfaces, which can improve the scalability and flexibility of virtualized environments.
Software Support
The HPE Mellanox MCX631432AS-ADAI Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Ports SFP28 OCP3 Adapter is supported by a variety of software solutions, including the Mellanox NEO management software and the Mellanox OFED InfiniBand and Ethernet driver suite. These software solutions can help streamline network management and provide additional features and capabilities.
In summary, the HPE Mellanox MCX631432AS-ADAI Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Ports SFP28 OCP3 Adapter is a high-performance network adapter that can provide reliable and high-speed connectivity for data center networks. With its two-port connectivity, low latency, high throughput, advanced network offloading capabilities, and software support, this adapter is an ideal choice for modern data centers that require high-speed networking.General Information about this HPE P42933-001
