HPE 767078-001 StoreFabric CN1200E 10Gb Converged Network Adapter

The HPE 767078-001 is a dual-port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter (CNA) designed for HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers. It addresses the need for I/O consolidation in the data center by combining the functionality of a standard network interface card (NIC) with a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This allows for the transport of Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel traffic over a single, unified 10GbE infrastructure, significantly reducing adapter and cable sprawl. This adapter leverages Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards to ensure lossless data delivery for storage traffic. By offloading protocol processing, the CN1200E frees up CPU cycles on the host server, improving overall system performance and efficiency for demanding applications and virtualized environments. This consolidation simplifies the network fabric and lowers total cost of ownership through reduced power and cooling requirements. Physically, the 767078-001 is a low-profile PCI Express 3.0 x8 card, allowing for flexible deployment in both standard and space-constrained server chassis. Management is integrated within the HPE ProLiant ecosystem, enabling streamlined configuration and monitoring. Its two SFP+ ports offer flexibility for connecting with either optical transceivers or direct attach copper cables to modern top-of-rack switches.
