HPE P38405-001 2-Ports 100Gb/s QSFP28 GbE Network Interface Card

Product Description

The HPE P38405-001 is a cutting-edge Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to deliver extremely high-speed network connectivity. Featuring two 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports, each utilizing the QSFP28 form factor, this card is engineered for environments that demand massive data throughput. The 100Gb/s speed per port makes it ideal for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, large-scale data centers, cloud infrastructure, and any application where network latency and bandwidth are critical bottlenecks. This NIC connects to the server via a PCIe Gen3 x16 interface, ensuring that the high-speed network traffic can be transferred to and from the system's memory without becoming a bottleneck. The QSFP28 connectors are designed to accommodate high-density cabling solutions, allowing for efficient use of rack space in data centers. The card supports advanced networking features, which may include technologies like RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) or other offload capabilities, further enhancing performance and reducing CPU utilization for network-intensive tasks. Installation of the HPE P38405-001 provides servers with the capability to handle extremely large data transfers, aggregate network traffic, and participate in high-speed storage networks. It is a crucial component for modern data centers that are constantly pushing the boundaries of network performance to support growing data volumes and increasingly complex applications. This card represents a significant upgrade path for organizations seeking to maximize their network infrastructure's potential.
