HPE P36072-001

Dual‑Port HDR200 Gb QSFP56 Network Adapter

The HPE P36072‑001 is a high-performance Network Adapter  offering two QSFP56 ports capable of supporting InfiniBand HDR (200 Gb/s) or 200 Gb Ethernet. Based on the Mellanox MCX653106A-HDAT chipset with a PCI Express 4.0 ×16 low-profile interface, this card delivers ultra-low latency and scalable throughput. Ideal for high-performance computing, AI/ML clusters, and enterprise storage fabrics, the adapter seamlessly integrates with HPE ProLiant (Gen10+ and Gen11) and Apollo servers—ensuring optimal performance in demanding computing environments.

Features

Built on the ConnectX‑6 HDR architecture, P36072‑001 supports dual-channel InfiniBand HDR or native 200 Gb Ethernet over QSFP56. Its PCIe Gen4 ×16 interface enables full line-rate data communication with minimal host CPU load. Advanced features like RDMA, GPUDirect, MPI offloads, and virtualization support (SR‑IOV, VXLAN/NVGRE) empower high-data-rate workflows. The passive-cooled, low-profile card design fits dense server configurations without the need for active cooling. Integrated Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) provides real-time diagnostics for link health, power, and temperature.

Advanced Options

Designed for mission-critical deployments, the P36072‑001 delivers consistent 200 Gb/s throughput and sub-microsecond latency across InfiniBand HDR or Ethernet fabrics. Its advanced offloads significantly lower CPU utilization, improving VM density and throughput efficiency.
