HPE InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 10GB scheda di rete

The HPE InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 10GB Network Adapter (764618-001-RFB) is a high-performance dual-port PCI Express 3.0 x8 adapter designed for data centers and high-performance computing environments. Based on the Mellanox ConnectX-3 chipset, it supports both InfiniBand FDR (56Gb/s per port) and Ethernet (40GbE/10GbE per port) protocols via Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) technology, offering flexibility and low-latency connectivity.

Advantages

This adapter delivers sub-microsecond InfiniBand latency and up to 112Gb/s bidirectional throughput, enabling fast data transfers for demanding workloads. It supports advanced virtualization features such as SR-IOV and NPAR, as well as RDMA over InfiniBand and RoCE for efficient data movement. The half-height, half-length form factor fits standard server slots, and its low power consumption (10-13W) ensures energy efficiency.
