Product Description
The HP 718904-B21 is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Network Interface Card (NIC). It is equipped with two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, which allow for flexible connectivity using various SFP+ transceivers, typically for fiber optic cabling. This adapter is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency network connectivity essential for demanding enterprise environments, such as data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and server consolidation. The card interfaces with the host system via a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot. This interface provides sufficient bandwidth to support the full throughput of both 10Gb/s ports simultaneously, ensuring that the network adapter does not become a bottleneck for network-intensive applications. The 'GE 10GBase-X' designation indicates its compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet standards over fiber optic connections. This HP network adapter is engineered to enhance server performance by offloading certain network processing tasks from the CPU, such as TCP/IP checksum calculations and segmentation. This allows the server's processor to focus on application workloads, leading to improved overall system efficiency. The dual-port design also enables features like network redundancy and link aggregation, further enhancing network reliability and performance for critical applications.
