HPE P14484-001 ProLiant OCP3 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 Ethernet Adapter
Overview
The HPE P14484-001 is a high-performance dual-port Ethernet network adapter designed as an Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 mezzanine card. Engineered to integrate seamlessly into HPE ProLiant Generation10 Plus and Gen11 servers, this adapter provides robust, high-speed network connectivity essential for modern data centers, virtualized environments, and high-performance computing workloads. It addresses the critical need for efficient data movement and reduced CPU overhead in demanding server applications. Featuring the Broadcom BCM57414 controller, this adapter supports flexible data rates of 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 25 Gigabit Ethernet over its two SFP28 ports, enabling rapid data transfer for network-intensive operations. Key capabilities include RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE v1/v2), which significantly lowers latency and frees up server CPU cycles by offloading network processing. Additionally, support for Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) facilitates efficient network virtualization, critical for scalable cloud and enterprise deployments. As an OCP 3.0 form factor plug-in card, the adapter integrates directly into compatible HPE ProLiant server slots, ensuring optimal airflow and simplified cable management within the server chassis. It is designed to enhance overall system efficiency and security, offering features like Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) for efficient virtual machine connectivity and secure boot mechanisms to protect against unauthorized firmware. The P14484-001 is a crucial component for organizations looking to maximize network throughput and operational efficiency in their server infrastructure.
