Detailed Specifications
HPE 780157-001 ConnectX-3 Pro 10/40Gb 2-Port Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE 780157-001 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. This adapter seamlessly integrates into HPE ProLiant servers, providing robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE), and InfiniBand FDR connectivity. It is engineered to accelerate network-intensive workloads, ensuring efficient data transfer and reduced latency across the infrastructure. Leveraging a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface and featuring two QSFP+ ports, the adapter significantly enhances server I/O capabilities. It incorporates advanced network technologies such as Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), which collectively offload processing tasks from the server's CPU. This offloading mechanism translates directly into improved application performance and lower CPU utilization, allowing servers to dedicate more resources to core computational tasks. This network adapter is optimized for deployment within HPE ProLiant server ecosystems, facilitating straightforward installation into available PCIe expansion slots. Beyond its raw performance, it supports comprehensive management and monitoring features, aiding network administrators in maintaining optimal network health. Furthermore, the adapter's compatibility with HPE's Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology allows for the creation of virtual NICs (vNICs), enabling granular bandwidth allocation and efficient resource utilization within virtualized environments.
