Specifications - HP FlexFabric Specification

Dual-Port 10Gb Integrated FlexFabric Adapter
for HP ProLiant BladeSystem Gen8 Servers
HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB FlexibleLOM (HP Part# 647586-B21)
Simplified Management
OneCommand Manager application—
The OneCommand Manager application
provides centralized management of
HP Storageworks and FlexFabric CNAs
and Fibre Channel (FC) HBAs from
Emulex throughout the data center from
a centralized management console. The
OneCommand Manager application
provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and
a scriptable command line user interface
(CLI) to optimize administration efficiency.
Highest Performance and Reliability
Lower power and cooling—HP 554FLB
FlexibleLOMs can reduce the number
of adapter cards and switches, resulting
in savings of up to 40% for power and
cooling.
Enterprise-ready—Leveraging ten
generations of advanced, field-proven FC
HBA technology, HP FlexFabric CNAs
are based on the Emulex OneConnect
architecture and meet the robust
interoperability and reliability requirements
of corporate data centers.
Advanced error checking—End-to-end
data protection with hardware parity, CRC,
ECC and other advanced error checking
and correcting ensure that data is safe
from corruption.
