Server Integration
This adapter is a validated, tested, and qualified solution that is optimized for HPE ProLiant servers. Hewlett Packard Enterprise
validates a wide variety of major operating systems drivers with the full suite of web
-
based enterprise management utilities including
HPE Intelligent Provisioning and HPE Systems Insight Manager that simplify network management. This approach provides a more
robust and reliable networking solution than offerings from other vendors and provides users with a single point of contact for both
their servers and their network adapters.
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.
TOE
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.
Tunnel Offload
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.
VMware NewQueue and Microsoft Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)
VMware NetQueue is technology that significantly improves performance of 10 Gigabit Ethernet network adapters in virtualized
environments. Windows Hyper
-V VMQ (VMQ) is a feature available on servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 with VMQ-
enabled
Ethernet adapters. VMQ uses hardware packet filtering to deliver packet data from an external virtual machine network directly to
virtual machines, which reduces the overhead of routing packets and copying them from the management operating system to the
virtual machine.
Wake-on-LAN
This adapter provides Wake
-on-LAN (WoL) support through the PCI Express bus. A system that supports Wake-on-
LAN cfaan 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.
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.
