HP InfiniBand QDR/EN 10Gb Dual Port 544M Adapter

Designed for HP ProLiant Gen8 blade servers, the HP InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 10Gb/40Gb 2P 544M Adapter and HP InfiniBand QDR/Ethernet 10Gb 2P 544M Adapter are based on next-generation Mellanox ConnectX-3 technology and PCI Express 3.0 for unprecedented scalability and fabric flexibility. They are new form factor, dual-ported mezzanine Host Channel Adapters (HCAs) for c-Class server blades, ideal for building scale out solutions. Both deliver low-latency InfiniBand bandwidth, up to 56 Gb/s Fourteen Data Rate (FDR) or up to 40 Gb/s Quad Data Rate (QDR), for performance driven server and storage clustering applications in High Performance Computing (HPC) and enterprise data centers. They can also function as 10 or 40 Gb/s Ethernet adapters. End-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) enables partitioning and guaranteed service levels while hardware-based congestion control prevents hot spots from degrading the effective throughput.

Next generation InfiniBand/Ethernet Host Channel Adapters for HP ProLiant Gen8 blade servers.
Performance driven ConnectX-3 architecture for InfiniBand bandwidth up to 56 Gb/s (FDR), Ethernet bandwidth up 40 Gb/s, and reduced application latency for either InfiniBand or Ethernet operation. PCI Express 3.0 x8. Efficient CPU utilization for transport and application offloads, GPU communication acceleration. Maximum effective network bandwidth through hardware-based traffic segregation (Qos) and congestion control. Low power requirements, low cost per Gb/s bandwidth.
