HPE 817749-B21 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-Port FLR-SFP28 Adapter

Brand:
HPE

HPE 817749-B21 is the Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port 640FLR-SFP28 adapter, based on the Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx network processor. It is a FlexibleLOM adapter for supported HPE ProLiant servers, providing two SFP28 ports with 10GbE and 25GbE connectivity. Its 25GbE capability, RDMA support, virtualization features, tunnel offload, and PCIe Gen3 x8 interface make it suited to server virtualization, high-throughput data-center networking, and performance-sensitive workloads.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 817749-B21 is a dual-port 10/25GbE 640FLR-SFP28 FlexibleLOM adapter built around Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx. Compatibility: Supported HPE ProLiant DL, ML and Apollo platforms; verify the exact server and FlexibleLOM support. Model comparison: 817749-B21 uses the FLR form factor; 817753-B21 is the comparable 2-port 640SFP28 stand-up adapter. 

USE CASES

  • 25GbE server networking – Provides two 10/25GbE SFP28 ports for bandwidth-intensive server connections.
  • Virtualized data centers – Supports virtualization-focused networking features to improve network efficiency in consolidated server environments.
  • High-performance computing – 25GbE connectivity and RDMA support make the adapter suitable for demanding compute and data-transfer workloads.
  • Cloud infrastructure – Adds high-speed network connectivity to compatible HPE server nodes used in private or hybrid cloud environments.
  • Network-intensive applications – Helps reduce network bottlenecks for workloads that can benefit from higher Ethernet throughput.
  • Storage networking – Supports Ethernet-based infrastructure where compatible protocols and network architecture are deployed.
  • Software-defined data centers – Tunnel offload support for VXLAN, NVGRE and GENEVE can help optimize virtualized overlay networking. 
  • Low-latency applications – HPE documents the adapter's use with Messaging Accelerator technology for latency-sensitive workloads such as high-frequency trading.

KEY FEATURES
