HP 834147-001 2 x Ports 40Gb/s QSFP PCI-E Pass-through Mezzanine Card

Product Description

The HP 834147-001 is a high-performance network interface card designed to deliver exceptional data throughput for demanding enterprise environments. Featuring two QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports, each capable of operating at 40 Gigabits per second, this mezzanine card provides a total bandwidth of 80Gb/s. This makes it ideal for applications such as high-performance computing (HPC), data center networking, storage area networks (SANs), and other scenarios where rapid data transfer is critical. As a pass-through mezzanine card, it connects directly to the server's motherboard or a compatible blade system's backplane via the PCI-Express interface. This design minimizes latency and maximizes bandwidth utilization. The QSFP form factor allows for flexible connectivity options using various transceivers and cables, including optical fiber, enabling connections over short or long distances depending on the transceiver type used. The card itself does not typically include the QSFP transceivers, which must be purchased separately based on the specific network requirements. This card is engineered for seamless integration with specific HP ProLiant servers and blade chassis, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. Its high-speed capabilities are essential for modern data centers that require robust and scalable network infrastructure to support increasing data volumes and complex workloads. The HP 834147-001 is a key component for organizations looking to upgrade their network backbone to support next-generation applications and services.
