HPEP08356-001

HDR100 / 100 GbE QSFP56 Network Adapter(PCIe 3.0 ×16)

The HPEP08356-001 (also referenced as P06250-B21) is a high-performance InfiniBand HDR100 / Ethernet 100 Gb Network Adapter with a single QSFP56 port and PCIe 3.0 ×16 interface. Engineered for use in HPEProLiant Gen10+ and HPC server platforms, this adapter delivers ultra-low latency and exceptional throughput for cluster computing, storage fabrics, and high-bandwidth interconnects. Capable of operating in either HDR100 InfiniBand mode or standard 100 Gb Ethernet (100GBase-X), it offers flexibility and accelerated traffic offloads×making it ideal for compute-intensive, latency-sensitive environments.

Features

Designed to fit PCIe 3.0 ×16 slots (available in low-profile or full-height brackets), the P08356-001 adapter supports both copper AOC and DAC QSFP56 cables. When paired with HPEHDR or Ethernet switches, it enables sustained 100 Gb/s performance with minimal jitter and CPU overhead. It supports advanced RDMA offloads and MPI enhancements, significantly boosting performance in HPC workloads. Certified on HPEProLiant DL/DL Gen9 and Gen10 systems and Apollo Series platforms, the adapter is validated for deployment in both Ethernet and InfiniBand fabrics.

Advanced Options

Engineered for mission-critical cluster and SAN fabric applications, this adapter delivers enterprise-grade throughput and sub-microsecond latency in HDR mode. When operating in 100 Gb/s Ethernet mode, it achieves full line-rate performance with robust protocol support and offload acceleration.
