HPE P10118-B21 2-Port Network Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

Detailed Specifications

The HPE P10118-B21 Ethernet Adapter is a high-performance networking solution engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers and hybrid cloud environments. This dual-port 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is specifically designed for integration with HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus servers, providing the necessary bandwidth and reliability for critical applications such as mobile data, streaming video, and virtualized workloads. It directly addresses the ongoing challenge of maintaining robust security and scalable network infrastructure in a cost-effective manner. This adapter leverages 10/25GbE data rates and dual SFP28 ports, facilitating flexible and high-speed network connectivity. Its intelligent design incorporates I/O offloads, including RDMA and tunneling, which significantly reduce CPU utilization and free up server resources for compute-intensive tasks, thereby enhancing overall system performance. Furthermore, the adapter's digitally signed firmware ensures secure updates, fortifying the server's infrastructure against unauthorized access and malicious software installations by authenticating trusted firmware via a root of trust architecture. Integrated as an Open Compute Project mezzanine (OCP) 3.0 plug-in card, the P10118-B21 is ideal for optimizing physical and logical placement within compatible HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus server chassis. It is an integral component of HPE's comprehensive ecosystem, designed to ensure seamless interoperability and efficient data flow across HPE servers, networking adapters, transceivers, cables, and switches. This cohesive approach helps maintain peak operational efficiency and system stability across the entire IT infrastructure.
