HP 399593-B21 ProLiant 10GbE Virtual Connect Ethernet Module Option Kit for c-Class BladeSystem

Product Description

The HP 399593-B21 ProLiant 10GbE Virtual Connect Ethernet Module Option Kit is a high-performance networking solution tailored for HP's c-Class BladeSystem. This module provides dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, enabling blade servers to achieve significantly higher network throughput compared to standard Gigabit Ethernet. The integration of Virtual Connect technology simplifies network configuration and management by allowing network profiles to be assigned to server blades, abstracting the physical network connections. This option kit is essential for modern data centers that require substantial bandwidth to support demanding applications such as virtualization, high-performance computing, and large-scale data analysis. By offering 10GbE connectivity, it ensures that blade servers are not bottlenecked by their network interfaces, allowing them to operate at their full potential. The module's design facilitates easy installation within the BladeSystem enclosure, contributing to a streamlined server deployment process. Furthermore, the 399593-B21 enhances network agility and reduces operational costs. The Virtual Connect architecture allows for network changes to be made without physically altering cabling or requiring extensive reconfiguration of network switches. This flexibility is critical for dynamic IT environments where resources need to be provisioned and reallocated rapidly. The module supports advanced networking features, ensuring robust and reliable connectivity for mission-critical workloads.
