HPEP08254-001

InfiniBand HDR100 / 100 GbE 1-Port QSFP56 Gigabit Ethernet Card(PCIe 3.0 ×16)

The HPEP08254-001 is a high-performance network adapter offering either InfiniBand HDR100 or standard 100 Gb Ethernet via a single QSFP56 port. Connected via PCI Express 3.0 ×16, it's ideal for HPEProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers and Apollo systems in HPC and data center environments. Whether deployed for ultra-low latency InfiniBand fabrics or high-bandwidth Ethernet backbones, it delivers flexible and scalable connectivity from a single port.

Features

This adapter leverages the Nvidia/Mellanox MCX653105A-ECAT (ConnectX-6) chipset to deliver full wire-rate 100 Gb/s performance. With support for both InfiniBand HDR100 and 100 Gb Ethernet, the card enables RDMA offloads, SR-IOV virtualization, VXLAN overlays, and MPI enhancements. Compatible with HPEApollo and ProLiant Gen10 platforms and HDR-capable HPEswitches, it provides efficient inter-server or storage fabric interconnects with minimal latency and CPU load. Firmware updates and management tools are available via HPEsupport. turn0search16turn0search6

Advanced Options
