Do you want to increase bandwidth & improve performance while reducing costs? The HPE Ethernet 10/25 Gb 2-port 621SFP28 Adapter supports 10 Gb E & 25 Gb E bandwidth capability which allows more network traffic & speed up network-intensive applications. Compared to a 10G implementation this adapter provides 150% more bandwidth with just a minimal price delta. This adapter has been designed to efficiently deliver high performance & low latency by offloading processing of Ethernet packets on the adapter. Freeing up CPU resources in the host allowing it to do more important tasks. Improving CPU utilization with lower latency The HPE Ethernet 10/25 Gb 2-port 621 Adapter reduces CPU Utilization & helps improve host VM density & server efficiency using remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (Ro CE v 2) for Live Migration, Microsoft SMB Direct environments. Delivers single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) with the ability to run a large number of virtual machines (VMs) per server, which reduces the need for hardware & the resultant costs of space & power required by hardware devices. Enhance performance & lower power consumption The HPE Ethernet 10/25 Gb 2-port 621SFP28 Adapter allows customers to use overlay networking which increases VM migration flexibility with minimal impact to performance & lower power usage with Tunnel Offloads (VXLAN & NVGRE). Speeds up packet processing to service more I/O requests utilizing data plane development packet (DPDK). Prevent unauthorized access The HPE Ethernet 10/25 Gb 2-port 621SFP28 Adapter stops unauthorized access to memory or storage with device-level firewall. This enforces that on-device firmware & configuration data can only be accessed by authorized agents. Provides traceability into authenticated firmware updates by capturing changes in standard system logs. Renders user & configuration data on the NIC irretrievable so that NICs can be safely repurposed or disposed of.
