Product Overview
The P08452-B21 HPE Marvell Ql41132hqcu Ethernet 10GB 2-port Sfp+ Ocp3 Adapter is a network interface card designed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for data centers and enterprise-level networks. This adapter offers a high-performance, reliable, and cost-effective solution for connecting servers and storage systems to the network. This article will provide a detailed explanation of the features, benefits, and technical specifications of the P08452-B21 HPE Marvell Ql41132hqcu Ethernet 10GB 2-port Sfp+ Ocp3 Adapter.
Features
The P08452-B21 HPE Marvell Ql41132hqcu Ethernet 10GB 2-port Sfp+ Ocp3 Adapter offers several features that make it a suitable solution for enterprise-level networks.
Dual-port SFP+ interface
The adapter comes with two SFP+ ports that support 10GB Ethernet connectivity. SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) is a popular transceiver interface that allows for the use of fiber optic and copper cables. This feature provides flexibility in connectivity options for the network administrator.
PCIe 3.0 interface
The adapter uses the PCIe 3.0 interface to connect to the server or storage system. PCIe 3.0 offers higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to previous versions of PCIe, resulting in faster data transfer rates.
Offload Engine
The P08452-B21 HPE Marvell Ql41132hqcu Ethernet 10GB 2-port Sfp+ Ocp3 Adapter features an Offload Engine that reduces the workload on the server’s CPU. This feature frees up server resources, allowing for improved system performance and scalability.
Virtualization Support
The adapter supports Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) technologies. VMDq allows for the efficient distribution of network traffic to virtual machines, while SR-IOV enables virtual machines to have direct access to the adapter, improving performance and reducing latency.
