The HP Integrity PCI-e 2-port 10GbE Adapter is an eight lane PCI Express 10 Gigabit network solution offering optimal throughput. The card ships with advanced server features such as support for TCP checksum and segmentation, VLAN tagging, QoS, and Jumbo frames. Easy to install and configure, the card can be used in either standard or low profile slots.

The card delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks for the next generation data center. 10 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth is ideal for virtualization, high performance computing, database clusters, storage backups, grid systems, server and I/O consolidation, fabric consolidation, and more.

The use of jumbo frames is a way to achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.

For overall improved system response, the adapter supports standard TCP/IP offloading techniques.

Interrupt coalescing groups multiple packets, thereby reducing the number of interrupts sent to the host. This process optimizes host efficiency, leaving the CPU available for other duties.
