HPE QW990A

StoreFabric CN1100R Dual-Port 10 Gb Converged Network Adapter 

The HPE QW990A, also known as the StoreFabric CN1100R, is a high-performance dual-port Converged Network Adapter(CNA) tailored for HPE ProLiant Gen8 through Gen10 servers. Leveraging two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, this adapter unites Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel (via FCoE and CEE standards) into a single, streamlined interface—ideal for modern virtualized and converged data center environments. The adapter’s PCIe 2.0 x8 form factor ensures robust data throughput while its compatibility with HPE switch ecosystems provides seamless integration. Refurbished units offer enterprise-grade reliability with a cost-effective price point. 

Features

Designed as a Plug-in Card, the QW990A CN1100R supports multiple high-speed protocols—Ethernet, FCoE, and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE)—delivered over two 10 Gb SFP+ fiber ports . It achieves flexible, high-density connectivity options via optical SFP+ SR modules or direct-attach copper (DAC) cabling, making it easy to interconnect with HP FCoE ToR and EoR switches Built on the PCIe 2.0 x8 bus interface, and compatible with both full- and low-profile brackets, the adapter ensures flexibility of installation across rack and blade server systems . Its support for essential protocols like IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, LACP (802.3ad), and iSCSI positions it as a versatile solution across both storage and traditional networking layers Compatibility spans a broad lineup of HPE ProLiant systems—including DL360/380 Gen8–Gen10, ML350 Gen9, DL560/DL580 Gen8 and Gen10—ensuring consistent deployment in hybrid infrastructures As a refurbished offering, it presents a cost-effective yet highly reliable alternative to new adapters, enabling efficient budget allocation without sacrificing performance.

Advanced Options

Refurbished HPE QW990A CN1100R adapters deliver firmware-validated enterprise performance with a lighter cost footprint. The adapter's converged design reduces device sprawl by combining Ethernet and Fibre Channel over a single link, cutting deployment complexity and infrastructure overhead—ideal for high-density or virtualized server environments 

Product Key Features

  • Dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports (fiber or DAC)

  • Supports Ethernet, iSCSI, FCoE via Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE)

  • PCIe 2.0 x8 plug-in card with full/low-profile brackets

  • Wide IEEE standard support: 802.1Q, 802.3x, 802.3ad (LACP), 802.3ae, 802.1as/ax, Qbb/Qaz/Qbg/Qbh 
  • Reduces cabling and power usage by converging NIC and HBA functions

  • Fully tested for compatibility with HPE CNA-ready switches and servers


Reliability & Performance

With full support for advanced offloads such as iSCSI acceleration, FCoE tunneling, and network redundancy via LACP, this converged adapter provides robust, low-latency I/O suited for storage clusters and mission-critical applications. The PCIe 2.0 x8 interface and dual-port architecture support aggregate 20 Gb/s bandwidth, ensuring headroom for demanding workloads.Refurbished units commonly include 30–90 day warranties and undergo electrical certification and cosmetic validation to ensure quality. Combined with HPE ecosystem compatibility (ProLiant servers, FCoE switches), the QW990A maintains high operational availability and performance at a significantly reduced price point.
