Marketing description

The HPE Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is dual port adapters that provide Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fiber Channel (FC) connectivity over 10 GbE using both Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards. By consolidating Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fiber Channel onto a converged adapter, HPE CNA reduces the number of separate adapters and cables required for your datacenter and also reduce operational, power and cooling costs while preserving existing Ethernet and Fiber Channel infrastructure.
