Throughput-
Theoretical Bandwidth
• Full hardware offload of iSCSI and FCoE storage protocol processing for highest performance converged
Ethernet data and storage networks.
• Dual-port 10GbE Flex-10 FlexibleLOM network adapter that provides the flexibility to choose the type of
LOM to meet growing infrastructure needs
• Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP
• Industry-leading throughput and latency performance
• Up to 40Gb/s bi-directional near line rate throughput
• Improved small packet performance
• Support for Tunnel Offload (NVGRE, VxLAN)
• Integrated PHY and MAC
• Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
• Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
• IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
• Active Health Systems Support
• Jumbo Frame
• Checksum &Segmentation Offload
• IPv6 Acceleration
• Receive-Side Scaling (RSS)
• HPE Sea of Sensors 3D
• Optimized for virtual server environments with support for HPE Flex-10 Technology, Network Partitioning
(NPAR) and Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) User configurable bandwidth settings when combined
with the 10Gb Flex-10 Virtual Connect module. From 100Mb/s to10Gb/s on up to four "Physical Function"
NICs per port, in increments of 100Mb/s for NIC. The combined bandwidth of NICs cannot exceed port
bandwidth i.e. 10 Gb.
• Note: DPDK and Virtual Connect can't be used at the same time.
Evolve 10 Gb at your own speed! When paired with the HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10 Gb Ethernet
Modules, take advantage of four Flex Nics, which are PCI Physical Function devices that are OS/ Hypervisor
independent. In addition take advantage of iSCSI and FCoE storage offload capability making it a full-
Converged Network Adapter (CNA).
Server ROM recognizes them as individual NICs.
Speeds can be set per NIC from 100 Mb to 10 Gbs in 100 Mb increments.
Three fold increase in number of network connections per port.
Up to four physical function NICs per port.
Ideal for virtualized server environment, especially for dedicated bandwidth applications like virtual machine
migration from one physical server to another physical server.
This adapter delivers 20 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gb/s per adapter), providing
the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.
