HPE P26261-001 Broadcom Ethernet Adapter 10Gb 2-port SFP

The HPE P26261-001 is an enterprise-grade dual-port 10GbE SFP+ network adapter, engineered to accelerate performance in modern data center environments. Designed for HPE ProLiant servers, this adapter addresses I/O bottlenecks and increases throughput for network-intensive applications, making it an ideal solution for virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures. Built on the Broadcom BCM57412 controller, the adapter features advanced offload technologies that significantly reduce server CPU utilization. By processing network traffic directly on the card, features like VXLAN and GRE tunnel offloading free up valuable processor cycles for mission-critical applications. This results in greater virtual machine density and improved overall server efficiency, delivering a tangible performance boost for demanding workloads. This PCIe 3.0 x8 plug-in card is designed for seamless integration into HPE server platforms. Its dual SFP+ ports offer flexible connectivity with support for both optical transceivers and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, ensuring compatibility with existing network fabrics. The adapter is an optimal choice for creating redundant, high-speed connections to the core network or storage arrays, enhancing both performance and reliability.

• Dual 10GbE SFP+ ports for high-speed network links.
• Tunnel offloading for VXLAN and GRE overlay networks.
• Supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) protocol.
• SR-IOV support for enhanced virtual machine performance.
