HPE 701528-001 Flex Fabric 2 x Ports 20GB/s GbE PCIe 2.0 X8 630M Network Adapter

Product Description

The HPE 701528-001 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed to provide robust and rapid network connectivity for servers and workstations. It features two 20Gb/s Ethernet ports, offering substantial bandwidth for demanding network applications. This dual-port configuration allows for redundancy, load balancing, or connection to multiple network segments, enhancing network resilience and performance. The 20Gb/s speed is crucial for environments dealing with large data transfers, high-frequency trading, storage area networks (SANs), or virtualization where network throughput is a critical bottleneck. Utilizing a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface, this adapter ensures a high-speed connection to the host system's motherboard, capable of supporting the full bandwidth of the 20Gb/s ports. The PCIe 2.0 x8 slot provides ample bandwidth for data to flow efficiently between the network adapter and the server's CPU and memory. The 'FlexFabric' designation indicates that the adapter likely supports advanced networking features, potentially including technologies like converged network adapters (CNAs) or virtualization offloads, which can improve server efficiency and reduce CPU overhead. This network adapter is engineered for enterprise-grade environments where reliability, speed, and advanced features are paramount. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into HPE ProLiant servers and other compatible systems, providing a powerful networking solution for data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and other mission-critical applications. The dual 20Gb/s ports and PCIe 2.0 x8 interface make it a capable component for modern, high-speed network infrastructures.
