Overview
The HPE P27682-001 is a high-performance network adapter designed to elevate the capabilities of modern enterprise and data center infrastructures. As part of the Pensando Distributed Services Platform (DSP) DSC-25 series, this network interface card integrates advanced intelligence directly onto the adapter. Its core purpose is to offload critical network and security services from the host CPU, thereby freeing up valuable compute resources and ensuring optimized application performance in demanding environments. Equipped with dual SFP28 ports, the adapter supports flexible connectivity at both 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 25 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, crucial for meeting the increasing bandwidth demands of virtualized, cloud, and AI/ML workloads. This PCIe 3.0 x8 card also incorporates hardware acceleration for essential functions such as firewall processing, telemetry, encryption, DDoS protection, and load balancing. By distributing these services, it ensures consistent, low-latency performance and robust security without impacting server CPU cycles. This network adapter is specifically engineered for seamless integration within HPE ProLiant and Apollo server platforms, offering broad compatibility for existing and future deployments. Its standard plug-in card form factor supports both high-profile and optional low-profile brackets, allowing for flexible installation in various server chassis. Management is streamlined through support for RESTful APIs, SNMP, and integration with common orchestration tools, providing IT teams with comprehensive visibility and control over network operations.
