HPE P26874-001 BCM57412 10Gb 2-Port Network Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The HPE P26874-001 is an enterprise-grade dual-port 10GbE SFP+ network adapter designed for select HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers. It addresses the need for high-throughput, low-latency network connectivity in modern data centers. This adapter is engineered for demanding workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and data-intensive applications that require more bandwidth than standard 1GbE interfaces can provide. Based on the Broadcom BCM57412 chipset, this adapter enhances server performance by offloading network processing tasks from the CPU. It supports advanced features like RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), which allows for direct memory access between servers, significantly reducing latency and improving application response times. This makes it a crucial component for building efficient and scalable server infrastructures. Physically, the P26874-001 is a PCIe 3.0 x8 plug-in card, ensuring broad compatibility with the PCIe slots found in supported ProLiant servers. Its dual SFP+ ports offer flexibility in network connectivity, accommodating both fiber optic and direct attach copper cabling. Management is integrated within the HPE server ecosystem, and security is enhanced through a root-of-trust architecture that authenticates firmware updates, preventing unauthorized modifications.
