interconnector in their high performance computing (HPC) systems.
HPE EDR InfiniBand/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port 841OCP QSFP28 Adapter is based on Mellanox ConnectX®-5 VPI technology. It
supports dual-function InfiniBand and Ethernet for the HPE Apollo 70 Server
high bandwidth interconnector in their high performance computing (HPC) systems based on HPE Apollo 70 servers.
HPE EDR InfiniBand/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port and 2-port 840QSFP28 Adapters are based on Mellanox ConnectX®-4 technology.
They support dual-function InfiniBand and Ethernet for HPE ProLiant XL and DL Servers. The single ported card can function as a
single port EDR InfiniBand card, or a single port 100Gb Ethernet card; the dual ported card can function as a dual ported EDR
InfiniBand card, a dual ported 100Gb Ethernet card, or a mixed function card. They are designed for customers who need low
latency and high bandwidth interconnector in their high performance computing (HPC) systems.
Combined with EDR InfiniBand Switches or 100Gb Ethernet Switches, they deliver low latency and up to 100Gbps bandwidth, ideal
for performance driven server and storage clustering applications in HPC and enterprise data centers.
