Overview

HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter

Extended SKU - This adapter is part of an extended catalog of products tailored for customers in specific markets or with specific workloads, requiring the utmost in performance or value, but typically have a longer lead-time. The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T Adapter is a dual-port 10GBASE-T adapter, featuring the Intel X540 10Gb Ethernet solution in a PCIe 2.1 compliant form factor designed for HPE ProLiant rack and tower servers. The HPE 561T adapter delivers full line-rate performance across all, utilizing CAT 6A UTP cabling (or better) with distances up to 100 meters. Providing high performance Ethernet connectivity, it is ideal for virtual server and cloud computing environments. It supports enterprise class features (VLAN tagging, adaptive interrupt coalescing, MSI-X, NIC teaming (bonding), Receive Side Scaling (RSS), jumbo frames, PXE boot) and virtualization features (VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ). The adapter's support for HPE Sea of Sensors 3D Technology enhances server performance by reducing energy consumption and expense

HPE Sea Of Sensors 3D

This adapter delivers 20 Gb/s bi-directional Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gb/s per adapter), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks.

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.

Normally the TCP Checksum is computed by the protocol stack. Segmentation Offload is technique for increasing outbound throughput of high-bandwidth network connections by reducing CPU overhead. The technique is also called TCP segmentation offload (TSO) when applied to TCP, or generic segmentation offload (GSO).

This adapter ships with a suite of operating system-tailored configuration utilities that allow the user to enable initial diagnostics and configure adapter teaming. This includes a patented teaming GUI for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Additionally, support for scripted installations of teams in a Microsoft Windows environment allow for unattended OS installations.

This adapter supports DPDK with benefit for packet processing acceleration and use in NFV deployments.

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
