Overview

The HP StorageWorks CN1000E Dual-Port
Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a single­chip, low profile 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) adapter
for HP ProLiant rack servers. The HP CN1000E
delivers industry-leading performance with storage
protocol offload for iSCSI or Fibre Channel over
Ethernet (FCoE). The HP CN1000E fully supports
network convergence and Data Center Bridging
(DCB) standards for lossless Ethernet with FCoE.

The HP CN1000E complements HP’s Converged
Infrastructure architecture. This open architecture
uses industry standards to converge storage,
server, and network resources and provide
seamless interoperability with existing data center
core networks.

Optimized Network Connectivity

Lower cost

The HP CN1000E can save up to 30% on capital
expenses by reducing the number of adapter
cards, switch ports and cables needed to support
network and storage traffic.

Lower power and cooling
The HP CN1000E can reduce the number of
adapter cards and switches, resulting in significant
savings for power and cooling.

Consolidation with the latest Intel Xeon CPUs
The HP CN1000E was designed to leverage the
new features of Xeon processors beginning with
the 5500 series, including MSI-X, QPI, PCI-Express

2.0, HTT and VT-d which all enable more I/O per
CPU with protocol hardware offload technology.

Simplified Management

OneCommand Manager application

The OneCommand

®

Manager application
provides centralized management of HP
CN1000E CNAs and HP-branded Emulex
LightPulse® HBAs throughout the data
center from a centralized management
console. The OneCommand Manager
application provides a graphical user
interface (GUI) and a scriptable command
line user interface (CLI) for optimum
administration efficiency.

Streamlined installation
Using AutoPilot Installer, a single
installation of drivers and applications
for Windows servers eliminates multiple
reboots and ensures that each component
is installed correctly and HP CN1000E
CNAs are ready to use.

Highest Performance and Reliability

Enterprise-ready

Leveraging ten generations of advanced,
field-proven HBA technology, the HP
CN1000E meets the robust interoperability
and reliability requirements of corporate
data centers.

Advanced error checking
End-to-end data protection with hardware
parity, CRC, ECC and other advanced
error checking and correcting ensure that
data is safe from corruption.
