HPE P10180-B21

200 Gb 1-Port QSFP56 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Network

The HPE P10180-B21 is a high-performance 200 GbE Ethernet adapter designed for next-gen data center and virtualization workloads. Featuring a single QSFP56 port and based on the Mellanox MCX623105AS-VDAT chipset, it delivers ultra-high throughput and low latency over optical fiber. Installed via a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, this adapter offers seamless 200 Gbps connectivity while minimizing CPU usage through advanced offload features like RDMA, SR-IOV, VXLAN, RoCEv2, NVGRE, and GENEVE. Specifically designed for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus (and select Gen11) servers, it provides a scalable, secure, and low-profile solution for dense virtualization, AI, storage fabrics, and cloud backbones—offering both performance and integration for mission-critical enterprise environments.

Features

Deployed in modern enterprise and cloud ecosystems, the P10180-B21 delivers optimized performance through its PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and 200 Gbps QSFP56 port—ensuring bandwidth-intensive applications run at full speed without bus constraints . Its support for RDMA, SR-IOV, VXLAN, NVGRE, RoCE, iWARP, tunneling, and secure boot boosts efficiency, offloads CPU overhead, and enhances virtualization density and multi-tenancy Measuring approximately 8.5 in × 9.7 in × 2.4 in and weighing around 0.57 lb, the adapter maintains a compact, low-profile design ideal for dense rack deployments . With an operational power consumption of around 13 W, it's both efficient and thermally manageable . Firmware-level protections such as signed updates and hardware root of trust ensure integrity and security compliance in regulated or enterprise-scale environments . Compatibility with a broad array of HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers ensures seamless integration within existing infrastructure.

Advanced Options

Built for demanding, latency-sensitive workloads, the P10180-B21 delivers robust networking capabilities with ultra-low latency and exceptional throughput. Its PCIe 4.0 architecture ensures that the full 200 Gbps bandwidth is achieved without compromise. Hardware offloads relieve the CPU from networking overhead, maximizing compute efficiency and performance in virtualized and AI-intensive environments. Tunnel offloading technologies (VXLAN, NVGRE, GENEVE) further optimize network encapsulation, enhancing scalability and flexibility in multi-tenant or overlay network deployments.
