The HPE Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) are dual port adapters that provide Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel (FC)
(EoR) switches to ensure an optimal FCoE solution for your datacenter.
10G BASE-T
Available with 10GBASE-T connectivity using RJ45 connectors for CAT6A or CAT7 cables, reduces
implementation costs by eliminating need for SFP+ optics.

connectivity over 10GbE using both Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards. By
consolidating Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel onto a converged network adapter, HPE CNAs reduce the number of separate
adapters and cables required for your datacenter and also reduce operational, power and cooling costs while preserving existing
Ethernet and Fibre Channel infrastructure. HPE CNAs have been thoroughly tested with HPE Top of Rack (ToR) and End of Row
Key Features and Benefits
Infrastructure
Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel in one adapter
• Combines the functionality of a NIC (Ethernet), iSCSI, and Fibre Channel onto a single
converged network adapter reducing the number of adapters and cables and reducing
acquisition and operational costs
Support jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K byte (KB)
transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. This is over 5X the size of a
standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. With jumbo frames, networks can achieve higher
throughput performance and improve CPU utilization. These attributes are particularly useful
These features optimize host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
performance with tunnel offload support for VXLAN and NVGRE. By offloading packet
processing to adapters, customers can use overlay networking to increase VM migration
flexibility and network scale with minimal impact to performance. HPE Tunnel Offloading
increases I/O throughput, reduces CPU utilization, and lowers power consumption. NVGRE
tunnel offload supports Microsoft OS environments and VxLAN supports select VMware and
