HPE Sourcing FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB Adapter

The HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB 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 554FLB supports full protocol offload providing 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 554FLB delivers the performance benefits and cost savings of converged network connectivity for HP BladeSystem servers. The dual-port HP 554FLB 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.
