HPE P42933-001 10/25GbE 2p SFP28 OCP3 Network Adapter
Overview
The HPE P42933-001 is a high-throughput Ethernet network adapter designed for modern data centers requiring scalable, high-speed connectivity. As an OCP 3.0 mezzanine card, it provides a dual-port 10/25GbE SFP28 interface, specifically engineered for integration with HPE ProLiant Gen10, Gen10 Plus, and Gen11 servers. This adapter addresses the need for increased bandwidth and lower latency in demanding enterprise workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and software-defined storage. At its core, the adapter leverages a PCIe 4.0 host interface, ensuring that the dual 25Gbps ports can operate at full capacity without creating a system bottleneck. This design facilitates significant improvements in data transfer rates, which is critical for environments running data-intensive applications. The support for advanced features like RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) further enhances performance by offloading protocol processing from the CPU, freeing up server resources. Designed for seamless integration, the P42933-001 fits into the dedicated OCP 3.0 slot in compatible HPE servers, such as the ProLiant DL380 Gen11. This plug-in form factor simplifies installation and upgrades. Management is handled through standard HPE server management tools, allowing for unified control and monitoring within the existing infrastructure, making it an efficient upgrade for boosting network I/O performance.
