HPE Synergy 6810C 25/50Gb Ethernet Adapter: технические характеристики и документация

Delivers RDMA on top of the pervasive TCP/IP protocol. iWARP RDMA runs over standard network and transport layers and works with all Ethernet network infrastructure. TCP provides flow control and congestion management and does not require a lossless Ethernet network. iWARP is a highly routable and scalable RDMA implementation.

This adapter delivers 50/100 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (100/200 Gb/s per adapter), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.

Audit Logs are a forensics capability that provides traceability into authenticated firmware updates by capturing changes in standard system logs.

Authenticated Updates brings cryptographic keys onto the NIC (for HW Authentication) to protect user and configuration data from unauthorized access and verify digitally signed firmware.

Normally the TCP Checksum is computed by the protocol stack. Segmentation Offload is technique for increasing outbound throughput of high-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU overhead. The technique is also called TCP segmentation offload (TSO) when applied to TCP, or generic segmentation offload (GSO).

Device-level Firewall blocks any unmanaged access to memory or storage. This ensures that on-device firmware and configuration data can only be accessed by authorized agents.

This adapter supports DPDK with benefit for packet processing acceleration and use in NFV deployments.

This adapter is a Type C mezzanine.

Support for the HPE Sea of Sensors which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track thermal activity - heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can initiate fans and make other adjustments to reduce energy usage. A significant improvement lies in the ability to apply fan speed increases only to the portion of the system that is rising in temperature, rather than all six fans in unison, which reduces the amount of energy used for cooling.

IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing allowing for more devices and users on the internet. IPv4 supported 32-bit addressing.

This adapter supports Jumbo Frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9,600 byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over six times the size of a standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. With Jumbo Frames, networks can achieve higher throughput performance and greater CPU utilization. These attributes are particularly useful for database transfer and tape backup operations.

Provisioning and updating this adapter are quick and consistent using the HPE Synergy template-driven server profiles. Orchestrates reliable adapter firmware updates with an entire HPE Synergy infrastructure from a single tool, HPE Synergy Composer.

Support for PXE enables automatic deployment of computing resources remotely from anywhere. It allows a new or existing server to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system, from a management/ deployment server at another location on the network.Additionally, PXE enables decentralized software distribution and remote troubleshooting and repairs.

Sanitization (Secure User Data Erase) renders User and configuration data on the NIC irretrievable so that NICs can be safely repurposed or disposed.

Secure Boot safeguards the system and ensures no rogue drivers are being executed on start-up.

This adapter supports RoCE v1 and v2. RoCE v2, also sometimes called "Routable RoCE" which adds Concurrent RoCE v1 and v2 support, SR-IOV support, QoS with hierarchical TX scheduling, ECN-based congestion control for RoCE v2. RoCE is an accelerated I/O delivery mechanism that allows data to be transferred directly from the user memory of the source server to the user memory of the destination server bypassing the operating system (OS) kernel. Because the RDMA data transfer is performed by the DMA engine on the adapter's network processor, the CPU is not used for the data movement, freeing it to perform other tasks such as hosting more virtual workloads (increased VM density). RDMA also bypasses the host's TCP/IP stack, in favor of upper layer InfiniBand protocols implemented in the adapter's network processor. The bypass of the TCP/IP stack and the removal of a data copy step reduce overall latency to deliver accelerated performance for applications such as Microsoft Hyper-V Live Migration, Microsoft SQL and Microsoft SharePoint with SMB Direct.

RSS resolves the single-processor bottleneck by allowing the receive side network load from a network adapter to be shared across multiple processors. RSS enables packet receive-processing to scale with the number of available processors.

Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) provides a mechanism to bypass the host system hypervisor in virtual environments providing near metal performance and server efficiency. SR-IOV provides mechanism to create multiple Virtual Functions (VFs) to share single PCIe resources. The device is capable of SR-IOV, and requires Server BIOS support, controller firmware, and OS support.

Synchronization of system clocks throughout a network, achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.

Minimize the impact of overlay networking on host performance with tunnel offload support for VXLAN, NVGRE and GENEVE. By offloading packet processing to adapters, customers can use overlay networking to increase VM migration flexibility and virtualized overlay networks with minimal impact to performance. HPE Tunnel Offloading increases I/O throughput, reduces CPU utilization, and lowers power consumption. Tunnel Offload supports VMware's VXLAN, Microsoft's NVGRE solutions and Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) solutions.

This adapter provides Wake-on-LAN (WoL) support through the PCI Express bus. A system that supports Wake-on-LAN can remain available to the systems administrator during its normal downtime. Once the machine is awakened, the systems administrator can remotely control, audit, debug, or manage the machine.

Maximum: The remaining warranty of the HPE product in which it is installed (to a maximum three-year, limited warranty).

Minimum: One year limited warranty.

Most HPE branded options sourced from HPE that are compatible with your product will be covered under your main product support at the same level of coverage, allowing you to upgrade freely. Additional support is required on select workload accelerators, switches, racks and UPS options 12KVA and over. Coverage of the UPS battery is not included under HPE support services; standard warranty terms and conditions apply.

Warranty and Support Services will extend to include HPE options configured with your server or storage device. The price of support service is not impacted by configuration details. HPE sourced options that are compatible with your product will be covered under your server support at the same level of coverage allowing you to upgrade freely. Installation for HPE options is available as needed. To keep support costs low for everyone, some high value options will require additional support. Additional support is only required on select high value workload accelerators, fibre switches, InfiniBand and UPS options 12KVA and over. Coverage of the UPS battery is not included under TS support services; standard warranty terms and conditions apply.
