448397-B21 - HP Dual-Port InfiniBand 4X DDR Connector X PCI-E Host Channel Adapter

Description

The HP 448397-B21 is a high-performance Host Channel Adapter (HCA) that utilizes InfiniBand technology to provide extremely fast and low-latency network connectivity. With dual channels, each capable of operating at 4Gb/s, this adapter is designed for demanding applications that require efficient data movement and high bandwidth. It connects to the server via a PCI Express x4 interface, ensuring a high-speed link to the system's resources. InfiniBand technology is renowned for its ability to facilitate Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), which allows devices to access memory on other systems directly without involving the host CPU. This significantly reduces latency and offloads processing, making it ideal for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, storage area networks (SANs), and other environments where rapid data exchange is critical. This HCA is a key component for building scalable and high-performance server infrastructures. It enables servers to communicate efficiently with each other and with high-speed storage systems, supporting applications that are sensitive to network delays. The dual-channel design also offers redundancy and increased aggregate bandwidth, further enhancing the reliability and performance of the connected systems.
