HPE P45646-001 Network Gigabit Ethernet Adapter InfiniBand NDR200 1-Port OSFP HEAT

Detailed Specifications

The HPE P45646-001 is a high-performance network adapter designed to accelerate data-intensive workloads in enterprise data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. As a single-port InfiniBand adapter, it addresses the critical need for ultra-fast, low-latency interconnects between servers and storage systems, removing communication bottlenecks that can hinder the performance of clustered databases, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) applications. This adapter leverages the NVIDIA ConnectX-7 smart host channel adapter (HCA) technology and the PCIe 5.0 x16 host interface to deliver a staggering 200Gb/s of bidirectional throughput. This level of performance is essential for modern parallel computing applications and large-scale data simulations. The use of the PCIe 5.0 standard ensures that the adapter can utilize the maximum bandwidth available in the latest generation of HPE ProLiant and Apollo servers, preventing the host bus from becoming a performance chokepoint. Engineered for seamless integration into demanding IT infrastructures, the P45646-001 is a standards-compliant plug-in card. Its OSFP (Octal Small Form Factor Pluggable) port provides robust, high-density connectivity within server racks. The adapter supports multiple offload engines to speed up communications by reducing CPU overhead, which directly translates to increased application throughput and improved data center efficiency.
