Synergy 6820C 25/50 Gb Converged Network Adapter

The HPEQL45562HMKR-HP Synergy 6820C is a high-performance dual-port converged Network Adapterdesigned for HPESynergy composable infrastructure. Supporting both 25 Gb and 50 Gb Ethernet throughput on its two QSFP-28 ports, this adapter is ideal for cloud, virtualized, and storage-intensive environments. By consolidating LAN and SAN traffic through Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI protocols, it simplifies infrastructure, reduces cabling, and lowers total cost of ownership. Designed with a PCIe Gen3 x16 mezzanine interface, it integrates cleanly into compute modules such as Synergy 480 Gen10/Gen11, 660 Gen10, or within Synergy 12000 frames. With advanced hardware offloads like RDMA, SR-IOV, VXLAN, and QoS features, the adapter enables scalable VM density while maintaining low latency and optimized resource utilization.

Features

This converged adapter leverages the 6820C Synergy platform to streamline enterprise networking by offering dual-port 25/50 Gb Ethernet connectivity through a mezzanine form factor. Its PCIe Gen3 x16 bus delivers full bandwidth with minimal latency, optimized for seamless integration into Synergy compute modules (compatible with 480/660 Gen10-11 and 12000 Frame environments) The unified architecture supports both Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic, allowing organizations to consolidate network and storage fabrics and reduce hardware overhead.

Advanced Options

Advanced features include SR-IOV virtualization support, tunneling offloads (VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE), RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE v1/v2), and iWARP for efficient packet processing and minimal CPU load. Additional capabilities such as Wake-on-LAN, jumbo frame support, TCP/IP offloading, and VLAN tagging ensure robust data handling in complex environments Offloading network and storage protocols accelerates workloads like VM migration, large database access, and high-throughput analytics.
