HP 840138-001 2-Port 10Gb/s SFP+ GE 10GBase-X Network Adapter

Product Description

The HP 840138-001 is a high-performance dual-port network adapter designed to deliver 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity to servers and workstations. Each of the two ports utilizes SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) transceivers, which allow for flexible network configurations using various fiber optic or copper cabling options. This adapter is engineered to meet the demanding bandwidth requirements of modern data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments. With a data transfer rate of 10Gb/s on each port, the 840138-001 significantly increases network throughput compared to traditional 1GbE adapters. This is crucial for applications such as large file transfers, high-speed storage access (like iSCSI or NAS), video streaming, and virtualization environments where network bottlenecks can severely impact performance. The adapter's design aims to minimize latency and maximize efficiency, ensuring that applications receive the network performance they need to operate optimally. This HP network adapter typically supports a range of advanced networking features, including various Ethernet protocols, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, and potentially offload capabilities to reduce CPU utilization. The dual-port design also offers redundancy and load balancing possibilities, enhancing network availability and resilience. By providing a robust and high-speed network interface, the 840138-001 is an essential component for upgrading server infrastructure to support the increasing demands of data-intensive workloads.
