Detailed Specifications
HPE 764283-B21 2-Port 10Gb/40Gb Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE 764283-B21 is a dual-port network adapter designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 servers, delivering high-throughput, low-latency connectivity for demanding data center environments. This adapter addresses the need for scalable and flexible I/O solutions in high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise data centers, and storage clustering applications. It provides a robust solution for environments requiring both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocol support. Based on Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro technology, the adapter offers exceptional performance by supporting InfiniBand FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) at speeds up to 56 Gbps and 10/40Gb Ethernet. This dual-functionality allows IT administrators to consolidate their network infrastructure, reducing the number of required adapters, cables, and switch ports, which simplifies management and lowers total cost of ownership. The card's ability to operate in either protocol mode provides significant investment protection. Physically, the 764283-B21 is a mezzanine adapter card specifically engineered for HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosures. Its PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface ensures maximum bandwidth between the adapter and the server, preventing I/O bottlenecks. This design makes it an ideal component for building out scalable, high-density compute clusters where both network performance and physical space are critical considerations.
