854194-B21 - HP 10GbE Ethernet Pass-Thru Module II for C-Class BladeSystem

Description

The HP 854194-B21 10GbE Ethernet Pass-Thru Module II is designed to enhance the networking capabilities of compatible HP ProLiant server platforms. This module provides a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface, significantly increasing data throughput compared to traditional 1GbE solutions. It acts as a pass-thru, meaning it typically connects directly to the server's integrated network controller or a mezzanine slot, providing external ports for network connectivity without adding a full-fledged network adapter card. This module is crucial for environments that require high bandwidth for demanding applications such as large file transfers, high-performance computing, virtualization, and data-intensive workloads. By enabling 10GbE speeds, it reduces network latency and bottlenecks, allowing servers to communicate more efficiently with the network and storage resources. The 'Pass-Thru Module II' designation suggests an updated or specific form factor designed for particular server generations or configurations. Installation of the 854194-B21 module allows IT administrators to easily upgrade server network performance, supporting the growing demands of modern data centers. It ensures that the server's network infrastructure can keep pace with its processing power, contributing to overall system efficiency and responsiveness. Compatibility is key, and this module is engineered to integrate seamlessly with specified HP ProLiant server models.
