HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 530SFP+ Adapter
Overview
The HPE 652503-B21 is a dual-port 10GbE SFP+ network adapter designed to deliver high-throughput, low-latency connectivity for modern data centers. Engineered for select HPE ProLiant servers, this PCIe 2.0 adapter addresses critical I/O bottlenecks in enterprise environments, particularly those with demanding virtualization, high-performance computing (HPC), and server consolidation workloads. It provides a robust solution for alleviating network congestion and improving application response times where data transfer speed is paramount. This adapter leverages a powerful single-chip solution that integrates both PHY and MAC layers to offer full line-rate performance across both ports with impressively low power consumption. By offloading network processes from the host CPU, it optimizes server efficiency and increases virtual machine density. Key features include support for stateless offloads like TCP/IP checksum, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS), which collectively reduce CPU overhead and enhance overall system performance. Ideal for installation in ProLiant DL, ML, and SL series servers, this adapter fits seamlessly into existing infrastructure as a stand-up PCIe card. Its design includes both standard and low-profile brackets to accommodate various server chassis. Management is streamlined through support for enterprise-class features like VLAN tagging, NIC teaming (bonding), and PXE boot. For virtualized deployments, it offers advanced capabilities including VMware NetQueue, Microsoft VMQ, and SR-IOV readiness, ensuring efficient traffic management in consolidated environments.
