HP 764618-001 InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 2 x Ports 10Gb/40Gb 544+FLR-QSFP Network Adapter

Product Description

The HP 764618-001 is a high-performance, dual-protocol network adapter designed to provide flexible and high-speed connectivity for servers. It uniquely supports both InfiniBand FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) and Ethernet protocols, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into diverse network infrastructures. This dual-protocol capability is particularly valuable in converged environments where a single adapter can handle both high-performance computing interconnect traffic and standard network communications, simplifying hardware requirements and reducing costs. The adapter is equipped with two QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports. These ports are capable of operating at either 10Gb/s or 40Gb/s speeds, offering significant flexibility in network design and deployment. The QSFP form factor supports a variety of transceivers, enabling connections over different media types and distances. The ability to switch between 10Gb/s and 40Gb/s allows for optimization based on current network needs and future scalability. Connectivity to the host server is provided by a PCI-e 3.0 x8 interface, which offers ample bandwidth to support the adapter's high-speed data transfer capabilities. This makes the 764618-001 an excellent choice for demanding applications such as high-performance computing, large-scale data analytics, storage networking, and enterprise data centers where low latency and high throughput are critical. Its versatility and performance make it a key component for modern, high-density server environments.
