Description:
HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-Port 554M Adapter
Part Number(s)
Manufacturer Part# 647590-B21
Overview:
The HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554M adapter supports Virtual Connect Flex-10
that allows each 10Gb port to be divided into four physical NICs to
optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. When connected to
a Data Center Bridging (DCB) capable switch – Fibre Channel over
Ethernet (FCoE) and Ethernet I/O are separated and routed to the
corresponding network. For iSCSI storage – the HP 554M supports full
protocol offload to provide better CPU efficiency when compared to
software initiators – thus enabling the server to handle increased
virtualization workloads and compute-intensive applications. This
combination of high-performance network and storage connectivity reduces
cost and complexity and provides the flexibility and scalability to
fully optimize Gen8 BladeSystem servers. The HP 554M delivers the
performance benefits and cost savings of converged network connectivity
for HP BladeSystem servers. The dual-port HP 554M optimizes network and
storage traffic with hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless
TCP/IP – TCP Offload Engine (TOE) – Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI.
