Do you want to improve your performance and bandwidth without increasing your hardware complexity?

The HPE Synergy 6820C 25/50Gb Ethernet Adapter provides more than two times the bandwidth compared to 10/20Gb adapters. Therefore, it simplifies hardware implementation by reducing the number of adapters, associated switches and compute modules required to achieve higher bandwidth.

The networking acceleration on this adapter alleviates the CPU utilization, increases the number of virtual machines (VMs) placed on each server, and improves the cloud scale efficiency. Pairing with the HPE Synergy high-density 50G Ethernet switching solution, this adapter provides high throughput and low latency to implement intelligent and flexible networks.

Provide High Performance and Low Latency

The HPE Synergy 6820C 25/50Gb Ethernet Adapter delivers single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) with the ability to run a large number of VMs per server, which reduces the need for hardware and and the resultant costs for space and power that hardware devices require.

Reduces CPU Utilization and helps improve host VM density and server efficiency using remote direct memory access (RDMA) offload with support for iWARP, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), and RoCEv2 protocols for Live Migration, Microsoft® SMB Direct environments.

Speed up Network-intensive Applications

The HPE Synergy 6820C 25/50Gb Ethernet Adapter lessens the total cost of ownership (TCO) and CAPEX by providing 25/50Gb connectivity compared to 10/20Gb connectivity.

Offloads packet processing to reduce CPU utilization and lower power with tunnel offloads (VXLAN, GENEVE and NVGRE).

Is your data center poised to take the 16 Gb step in Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity? The growth in enterprise flash storage and the deployment of servers with multi-core processors is driving the need for high performance storage networking to prevent application performance bottlenecks. The FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a critical element of this storage network to improve storage performance. The HPE StoreFabric SN1200E 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver the high bandwidth, low latency and high IOPs to meet any application requirements, from online transaction processing or data warehousing to backup/restore and OpenStack Cinder block storage. Supporting higher virtual machine density on powerful host servers, the SN1200E 16Gb HBAs delivers increased ROI on enabling more applications and virtual machines to run on a single server and I/O port without impacting SLAs. The 16 Gb FC HBA is backward compatible with 8 and 4 Gb FC storage networks to protect legacy investments.
