HPE P26871-001 BCM57414 2-Port 25Gb/s SFP28 PCIe Network Adapter

Product Description

The HPE P26871-001 is a cutting-edge dual-port 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE) network adapter powered by the Broadcom BCM57414 controller. This adapter is engineered to meet the stringent performance requirements of modern data centers, offering significant improvements in throughput and latency compared to previous generations. With two SFP28 ports, it supports high-speed optical transceivers, enabling data rates of up to 25Gb/s per port, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and large-scale cloud deployments. The adapter utilizes a PCIe Gen3 x16 host interface, providing ample bandwidth to ensure that the network ports are not a bottleneck for data-intensive workloads. This high-speed interface is crucial for maximizing the efficiency of applications that require rapid data access and transfer. The BCM57414 chipset is known for its advanced features, including support for Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which allows for direct assignment of network resources to virtual machines, thereby reducing overhead and improving performance in virtualized environments. Designed for HPE ProLiant servers and other compatible systems, the P26871-001 facilitates the deployment of next-generation network infrastructures. Its capabilities in delivering high throughput and low latency are essential for applications that are sensitive to network delays, such as real-time analytics, financial trading platforms, and large-scale data processing. The use of SFP28 connectors offers flexibility in choosing appropriate optical transceivers based on distance and performance needs.
