HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 630M Adapter: технические характеристики и документация

Evolve 20 Gb at your own speed! When paired with the HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric 20 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 new storage I/O functionality making it a full-Converged Network Adapter (CNA).

Server ROM recognizes them as individual NICs

Speeds can be set per NIC from 100 Mb/s to 20 Gb/s in 100 Mb/s increments

Three fold increase in number of network connections per port and up to four physical function NICs per port. Ideal for virtualized server environments, especially for dedicated bandwidth applications like virtual machine migration from one physical server to another physical server.

This adapter delivers 40 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (80 Gb/s per adapter), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.

IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow.

IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of this adapter to be separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance.

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

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.

This adapter supports accelerated iSCSI or iSCSI boot and FCoE.

This adapter supports Jumbo Frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9,000 byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over five 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.

This adapter ships with agents that can be managed from HPE Systems Insight Manager or other management application that support SNMP.

Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores.

This adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth, the team of adapters can work together as a single virtual adapter, providing support for several different types of teaming enabling IT administrators to optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.

This adapter supports Network Partitioning (NPAR) allowing administrators to configure a 10 Gb port as four separate partitions or physical functions. Each PCI function is associated with a different virtual NIC. To the OS and the network, each physical function appears as a separate NIC port.

I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ helps meet the performance demands of consolidated virtual workloads.

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.

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.

For overall improved system response, this adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques including:

TCP/IP, UDP checksum offload (TCO) moves the TCP and IP checksum offloading from the CPU to the network adapter. Large send offload (LSO) or TCP segmentation offload (TSO) allows the TCP segmentation to be handled by the adapter rather than the CPU.

TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) shifts the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the adapter's processor, freeing server CPU cycles for other operations.

Minimize the impact of overlay networking on host performance with tunnel offload support for VXLAN and NVGRE. 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 and Microsoft's NVGRE solutions.

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.
