HPE P16004-001 10/25GbE 2-Port SFP28 Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE P16004-001 is a high-performance, dual-port network adapter designed to provide robust and scalable connectivity for modern data centers. Engineered specifically for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers, this adapter addresses critical network I/O bottlenecks, making it an ideal solution for environments running data-intensive applications, hybrid cloud services, and high-volume video streaming. It delivers a significant upgrade path for servers requiring higher bandwidth and lower latency than standard 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet. At its core, this adapter leverages a flexible dual-port SFP28 design, allowing for both 10GbE and 25GbE connections. This dual-speed capability provides administrators with investment protection and a seamless migration path to higher speeds without requiring a complete hardware overhaul. The unit utilizes a PCI Express 3.0 x16 host interface, ensuring that the full 25 Gbps data transfer rate per port can be achieved without creating a bottleneck on the server's bus, which is critical for virtualization and high-performance computing clusters. Physically, the P16004-001 is a standard plug-in card that installs into a compatible PCIe slot within supported ProLiant servers. This form factor ensures straightforward deployment and integration into existing server infrastructures. Once installed, the adapter is managed through HPE's standard server management utilities, allowing for consistent configuration and monitoring within the established IT environment and providing a reliable, enterprise-grade networking foundation.
