Detailed Specifications
HPE E7Y70A 3PAR 8000 2-Port 10GbE Ethernet Adapter
Overview
The HPE E7Y70A is a dual-port 10Gb Ethernet adapter designed specifically for integration with HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 series storage arrays. This network interface card provides dedicated, high-speed Ethernet connectivity, enabling efficient data transfer and robust network performance within demanding enterprise data center environments. It is engineered to solve network bottlenecks by providing dedicated bandwidth for storage traffic, ensuring consistent and predictable performance for critical applications. This adapter leverages a PCI Express host interface to deliver high throughput directly to the storage controller nodes. By equipping a 3PAR array with these 10GbE ports, administrators can facilitate fast block-level data access and support network-intensive workloads. The inclusion of two SFP+ ports offers flexibility in network design and provides redundancy for highly available configurations, which is a critical requirement for Tier-1 storage. Designed for seamless integration, the E7Y70A fits into the I/O slots of the 3PAR StoreServ 8000 controller nodes. Its installation allows for the segregation of storage traffic onto a high-performance network, which is essential for deployments utilizing the HPE 3PAR File Persona Software Suite. Management is handled through the 3PAR OS, providing a unified interface for both storage and network port configuration.
