HPE 593720-001 NC365T 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Network Adapter

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 593720-001 is a quad-port Gigabit Ethernet server adapter designed to increase network performance and scalability in ProLiant servers. This network interface card (NIC) addresses I/O bottlenecks in slot-constrained rack and tower servers by consolidating four 1GbE ports onto a single PCI Express adapter. It is engineered for enterprise environments that require high port density for virtualization, network segmentation, and redundancy without occupying multiple valuable PCIe slots. At its core, the adapter leverages an Intel 82571EB chipset to provide robust networking features. It supports TCP/IP stateless offloading, which moves the processing of TCP/IP checksums and segmentation from the server's CPU to the adapter itself. This CPU overhead reduction is critical in virtualized environments, where the Virtual Machine Data Queue (VMDq) feature further enhances I/O performance by offloading data sorting to the network controller, freeing up processor cycles for application workloads. Designed for flexible deployment, the NC365T is a low-profile card shipped with both full-height and half-height brackets to ensure compatibility with a wide range of server chassis. It fits into any x4, x8, or x16 PCI Express slot, operating at x4 speeds to deliver a total aggregate throughput of 4Gbps. Management is integrated within the standard HPE toolsets, allowing for seamless configuration and monitoring within the existing infrastructure.
