HPE 380298-B21 2 x Ports MicroGiGaCN InfiniBand 4x PCIeHBA for ProLiant DL140 G3 Server

Product Description

The HPE 380298-B21 is a specialized Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered to provide high-speed, low-latency interconnectivity for demanding server environments. Featuring two InfiniBand 4x ports, this adapter is designed to facilitate extremely fast communication between servers, making it ideal for High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, large-scale data analytics, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. InfiniBand technology is renowned for its ability to deliver near-instantaneous data transfer with minimal overhead, crucial for tightly coupled parallel processing tasks. This HBA utilizes a PCIe interface, ensuring compatibility with modern server architectures, including the HPE ProLiant DL140 G3 server for which it is specifically designed. The dual-port configuration offers redundancy and increased bandwidth potential, allowing for more complex network topologies and higher aggregate throughput. Each port operates at 4x InfiniBand speeds, providing a substantial bandwidth capacity per connection, essential for applications that move large datasets rapidly. The 380298-B21 is a critical component for organizations leveraging HPC or requiring advanced server interconnectivity. Its ability to reduce communication latency and increase data throughput directly translates to faster computation times and improved efficiency in data-intensive workloads. By providing a robust and high-performance link, this InfiniBand HBA enables servers to operate at their full potential in clustered environments.
