Key features | Full hardware offload of iSCSI and FCoE storage protocol processing for highest performance converged Ethernet data and storage networks. |
Dual-port 10GbE Flex-10 FlexibleLOM network adapter that provides the flexibility to choose the type of LOM to meet growing infrastructure needs |
Industry-leading throughput and latency performance |
Supports HP's Flex-10 blade interconnect technology |
User configurable bandwidth settings when combined with the 10Gb Flex-10 Virtual Connect module. From 100Mb/s to10Gb/s on up to four "Physical Function" NICs per port, in increments of 100Mb/s for NIC. The combined bandwidth of NICs cannot exceed port bandwidth i.e. 10 Gb. |
Up to 40Gb/s bi-directional near line rate throughput |
Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP |
Improved small packet performance |
Support for Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) |
Integrated PHY and MAC |
Supports for SR-IOV |
Supports Network Partitioning |
Dual-port 10 Gigabit ethernet throughput (theoretical bandwidth) | The HP 536FLB adapter delivers 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex), providing the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks. |
HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb Ethernet Module for the c-Class BladeSystem | When paired with the HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb Ethernet Modules, take advantage of four Flex Nics, which are PCI Physical Function devices that are OS/ Hypervisor independent. |
Jumbo frames | The HP 536FLB adapter supports jumbo frames (also known as extended frames), permitting up to a 9K byte (KB) transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet I/O traffic. |
TCP/IP Stateless offloading | TCP, IP, UDP checksum offload, Large Send Offload (LSO), TCP, Segmentation Offload (TSO). These features optimize host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties. |
MSI and MSI-X | Message Signaled Interrupt (Extended) provides performance benefits for multi-core servers by load balancing interrupts between CPUs/cores |
802.1p QoS tagging | 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. |
802.1Q VLANs | IEEE 802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN) protocol allows each physical port of the HP 536FLB 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. |
Optimized for virtualization | I/O Virtualization support for VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ help meet the performance demands of consolidated virtual workloads. |
RDMA | Not Supported |
iSCSI/FCoE | The HP 536FLB does support accelerated iSCSI or iSCSI boot and FCoE. |
