Ultimate Converged Networking Solution
The HPE StoreFabric CN1100R 10GbE DP Converged Network Adapter is the perfect addition to your ProLiant Generation10 Servers. This dual port network adapter combines the functionalities of a Network Interface Card (NIC) and a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA), making it an efficient choice for modern data centers. By consolidating multiple functions into one adapter, you can reduce the number of required adapters and cables, leading to significant cost savings on both hardware acquisition and operational overhead.
Enhanced Data Integrity and Lossless Performance
Designed for reliability and high-performance networking, the CN1100R supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) using Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards. This ensures that Fibre Channel data packets are transmitted with high integrity and minimal loss. It is optimal for enterprise-level workloads, guaranteeing that you can maintain a consistently high level of performance throughout your data transfers.
Seamless Compatibility with HPE Ecosystem
One of the standout features of the HPE StoreFabric CN1100R is its compatibility with HPE's ProLiant servers and Top of Rack switches. It has been rigorously tested by HPE to ensure seamless integration into your existing datacenter infrastructure. Whether you are upgrading or implementing new technology, this adapter provides the reassurance of interoperability that businesses rely on for their mission-critical operations.
Flexible and Cost-Effective Connectivity Options
This converged network adapter offers flexible connectivity by supporting both SFP+ SR (optical) and direct attach copper cables. This allows you to pair the adapter with existing UTP CAT6A (or better) cabling, leading to significant reductions in implementation costs. Notably, the CN1100R uses standard RJ45 connectors, simplifying network setup. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use CAT6A shielded cabling in new installations.
Optimized for Modern Networking Needs
With support for jumbo frames, which allows for transmission units of up to 9K bytes, the HPE CN1100R can significantly enhance throughput and CPU utilization. Particularly useful for heavy database transfers and tape backup operations, this feature can result in smoother, more efficient network traffic management. Furthermore, the CN1100R series supports advanced network features like TC/IP Offload Engine and Receive Side Scaling, making it a forward-thinking solution for virtualization and NFV deployments.
