Marketing description
What if you could increase performance while at the same time reduce your costs and complexity? The HP FlexFabric for HP ProLiant Gen9 Blade servers gives you high performance Сonverged connectivity with new storage I/O functionality along with SR-IOV capabilities. With this FlexibleLOM Adapter you get high performance Ethernet, FCoE and iSCSI, increasing the overall server performance and scalability.
While increasing your performance and external bandwidth capability, your budget doesn’t have to increase drastically. You can choose technology to match your network architecture as you are consolidating your data center environment. The HP FlexFabric adapter is ideal for densely populated BladeSystem data centers running high bandwidth applications and virtual machine environments, this single Converged Network Adapter (CNA) can connect servers to storage and networks requiring fewer parts and less administration.
Product Features
- Bandwidth improves performance and accelerates virtualized workloads
Ability to virtualize each port into four physical functions with full Quality-of-Service control removes server I/O bottlenecks. Full hardware offload increases performance and reduces CPU utilization. Flex-10/FlexFabric technology allows you to dynamically fine tune up to four partitioned connections to meet different application needs. - Flex-10/FlexFabric technology simplifies I/O hardware and reduces costs
Consolidate server I/O connections reducing NIC/HBA adapters, cabling and switch port requirements. Unifies the NIC and storage management using HP Virtual Connect. Eliminates over subscription with ample bandwidth available from blade servers to external networks. - Centralized life-cycle management streamlines operations
Provision multiple adapters in seconds using Virtual Connect profiles. Manage updates from centralized Virtual Connect Manager, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manger or HP OneView. Orchestrate reliable adapter firmware updates on multiple blade servers with HP Smart Update Manager (SUM).
