Detailed Specifications
HPE R8G90C ACC100 vRAN Dedicated Accelerator Card
Overview
The HPE R8G90C is a dedicated accelerator card designed for virtualization of radio access networks (vRAN) and high-performance network offload scenarios. It fits into compatible HPE server platforms, offloading compute-intensive network and signal-processing tasks from the standard CPU and enabling greater throughput and efficiency in 4G/5G telco infrastructure, edge compute or network-function virtualization deployments. With its server-plug-in form-factor, the card integrates alongside standard server hardware and is optimized for environments with large parallel workloads, such as base-station aggregation, mobile-backhaul or edge compute nodes needing hardware-assisted acceleration. Engineers can deploy this card to enable scalable, efficient network-accelerated processing without redesigning the entire server infrastructure.
Key Features
Hardware-accelerated vRAN compute offload for network workloads
Plug-in accelerator card form-factor compatible with HPE servers
Enables network performance scalability beyond general-purpose CPU alone
Optimized for telco edge, vRAN, and network-function virtualization environments
