HP 763341-001 3820C 2x 10/20GBE PCI-E 3.0 Converged Network Adapter

Product Description

The HP 763341-001 is a high-performance Converged Network Adapter (CNA) that consolidates network and storage traffic onto a single adapter. Featuring dual 10/20Gb Ethernet ports, it provides the high bandwidth and low latency required for demanding enterprise workloads, including storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC), and virtualization environments. This adapter utilizes the PCI-Express 3.0 interface, specifically an x8 slot, to ensure maximum throughput and minimal latency between the adapter and the server's CPU. The 20Gbps speed per port allows for rapid data transfer, significantly reducing bottlenecks in network-intensive applications. Its converged nature means it can handle both traditional network traffic and storage protocols, simplifying network infrastructure and reducing costs. Designed for compatibility with HP ProLiant servers, the 763341-001 often supports advanced features like RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE). RDMA allows network adapters to transfer data directly from the memory of one computer to the memory of another without involving the operating system, leading to substantial performance gains. This makes it an ideal solution for applications requiring extremely low latency and high throughput.
