HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter: технические характеристики и документация

HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter

The HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter for ProLiant server blades provides full-featured, high performance converged 20Gb Ethernet that accelerates IT services and increases data center efficiency across a broad range of I/O intensive enterprise, cloud and Telco workloads.

When connected to HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Modules, the HPE FlexFabric 650FLB adapter provides 20GbE performance. It offers a rich set of offload technologies including overlay network tunneling and storage, increasing virtualization performance and host efficiency. The HPE 650FLB is a dual-speed adapter that can also operate at 10GbE when connected to HPE Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module or HPE 6125XLG Ethernet Switch.

Combining both the FlexibleLOM and Mezzanine adapters in a single BladeSystem ProLiant server can provide up to 80Gb/s of converged bi-directional Ethernet bandwidth, helping to alleviate network bottlenecks.

At a Glance Features

Virtual Connect FlexFabric 20 Gb Ethernet Module for the c-Class BladeSystem

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.

Throughput-Theoretical Bandwidth

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.

802.1p QoS Tagging

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.

802.1Q VLANs

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.

Converged Network Utility (CNU)

This adapter supports Converged Network Utility (CNU) a manageability application to configure converged network adapters (CNAs) and Ethernet adapters on HPE servers. This host based utility supports for both GUI and Command Line Interface (scriptable), and can be used to configure Ethernet, FCoE, iSCSI and NPAR related features/functionality on multiple OS platforms including Windows and Linux. CNU is able to configure multiple HPE adapters from various network controllers at the same time. Users can benefit easier setup steps, shorter re-boot time, and one-stop solution for multiple adapters via CNU.

HPE Sea Of Sensors 3D

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.

iSCSI/FCoE

This adapter supports accelerated iSCSI or iSCSI boot and FCoE.

Jumbo Frames

This adapter supports Jumbo Frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9,200 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.

Management Support

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) (MSI-X)

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

Network Adapter Teaming

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.

Optimized for Virtualization

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

Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)

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.

RoCE

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.

Single-Root I/O Virtualization

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.

TCP/UDP/IP

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.

Tunnel Offload

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.

Warranty

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.
