HP 727060-B21 2-Port 10Gb/s SFP+ PCIE 3.0 X8 GE 10GBase-X Network Card

Product Description

The HP 727060-B21 is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet network adapter designed for enterprise servers and demanding network environments. Featuring two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, it provides high-speed connectivity capable of supporting 10Gb/s data rates per port. This makes it suitable for applications requiring significant bandwidth, such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing clusters, and data-intensive server workloads. The adapter connects to the host system via a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface. This provides ample bandwidth to ensure that the full 10Gb/s speed of each port can be utilized without introducing bottlenecks. The PCIe 3.0 standard offers double the throughput of PCIe 2.0, making it ideal for high-speed networking components. The x8 lane configuration ensures broad compatibility with most modern server motherboards. With its dual ports, the 727060-B21 supports advanced networking features such as network teaming (link aggregation) for increased throughput and redundancy, as well as failover capabilities. The use of SFP+ ports allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate optical or direct-attach copper transceivers based on distance and connectivity requirements. This adapter is a key component for building robust and high-speed network infrastructures.
