Overview

HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366M Adapter

Recommended SKU - This adapter is a recommended option that has been selected by HPE experts to provide the right technology for a range of workloads and market segments offering the best combination of performance, value and availability. The HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366M Adapter is a HPE BladeSystem c-Class network adapter providing four Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single card saving valuable server mezzanine slots for other purposes. The x4 PCI Express 366M is supported on ProLiant c-Class servers in all mezzanine slots. For Gen8 ProLiant c-Class servers, the 366M is the first quad-port adapter option for c-Class with latest Intel Ethernet I350 controller With the 366M, up to 96 Gigabit Ethernet ports per c7000 enclosure and 48 per c3000 enclosure are possible. The four ports provide the highest port density available for BladeSystem servers in a single adapter. The 366M is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other server applications requiring maximum throughput and port density in a 1GbE infrastructure. The total aggregate throughput of 8 Gb/s full duplex also meets the needs for customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

This adapter delivers 8 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (32 Gb/s per adapter), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.

IEEE quality of service (QoS) 802.1p tagging allows the adapter to mark or tag frames with a priority level across a QoS-aware network for improved traffic flow.

IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of this adapter to be separated into multiple virtual NICs for added network segmentation and enhanced security and performance. VLANs increase security by isolating traffic between users. Limiting the broadcast traffic to within the same VLAN domain also improves performance.

Supports DMA Coalescing, the incoming data packets and interrupts associated with these DMA calls are intelligently batched to keep the system devices in lower power states.

Support for the HPE Sea of Sensors which is a collection of 32 sensors that automatically track thermal activity heat - across the server. When temperatures get too high, sensors can initiate fans and make other adjustments to reduce energy usage. A significant improvement lies in the ability to apply fan speed increases only to the portion of the system that is rising in temperature, rather than all six fans in unison, which reduces the amount of energy used for cooling.
