Standard Features
andNVGRE. By offloading packet processing to adapters, customers can use overlay networking to increase
VM migration flexibility and network scale with minimal impact to performance. HPE Tunnel Offloading
increases I/O throughput, reduces CPU utilization, and lowers power consumption. NVGRE tunnel offload
supports Microsoft OS environments and VxLAN supports select VMware and Linux (RHEL and SUSE)
environments.
MSI and MSI-X
Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load
balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores
802.1p QoS Tagging IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level
across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow.
802.1Q VLANs IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HPE 530FLB adapter
to be separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and
performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to
within the same VLAN domain also improves performance.
TOE TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) shifts the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to
the adapter's processor, freeing server CPU cycles for other operations.
Single-Root I/O
Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host system hypervisor in virtual
Virtualization
environments providing near metal performance and server efficiency. SR-IOV provides mechanism to create
multiple Virtual Functions (VFs) to share single PCIe resources. The devicesupports SR-IOV with appropriate
Server BIOS and OS support..

iSCSI/FCoE
The HPE 534FLB supports accelerated iSCSI or iSCSI boot and FCoE.
Network The HPE 534FLB supports NIC partitioning for ProLiant Gen8 blade servers. Allowing administrators to
Partitioning
configure a 10Gb port as four separate partitions or physical functions. Each PCI function is associated with a
different virtual NIC. To the OS and the network, each physical function appears as a separate NIC port.
Ease of Deployment and Management
PXE Boot Support Supports the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) allows the server to boot over the network and download
software residing in the network
