HP ProLiant DL585 G7 server technology
PCI Express data path. With four ports on a single integrated controller, this density design
contributes to saving DL 585 G7 I/O slots and makes this controller configuration ideal for
virtualization and security applications, server consolidation, and increased network segmentation.
The quad port NC375i meets the needs of customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready
to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE).
In addition, the NC375i supports the NC524SFP 10 GbE upgrade module, allowing two of the four
ports to move to10 GbE. The NC524SFP module, with its theoretical maximum of 40 Gbps, dual
port, bi-directional full duplex mode, delivers optimum network performance designed to improve
response time and remove bottlenecks across the entire network. The NC375i provides full driver
support, including teaming drivers for all major operating systems, along with management utilities.
Network Adapter Teaming
ProLiant Network Adapter Teaming provides fault tolerance and load balancing across a team of two
or more network adapters. The team of adapters works together as a single virtual adapter. Support
for several different types of teaming is included. Teaming options offers an easy, efficient, and cost-
effective way to provide network fault tolerance and increased network bandwidth.
Jumbo Frames
Jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permit a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU), which is six
times the size of a standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. The NC375i supports jumbo frames as a way
to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for
database transfers and tape backups.
