Marketing description

What if you could accelerate IT services, increase data center efficiency and double your bandwidth without doubling your costs and complexity? The HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter is installed in the FlexibleLOM socket prior to installing additional Mezzanine adapters. The adapter provides Tunnel Offload for efficient overlay networking to increase VM migration, flexibility and network scale with minimal impact to server performance.

Product features

• Lower costs and deliver faster services
  The HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant Server Blade. It is a FlexibleLOM card which cost-effectively doubles server I/O bandwidth and avoids bottlenecks both today and in the future. Simplify the infrastructure by reducing the hardware, lowering operational costs and acquisition costs. It´s also designed to converge FCoE or RoCE with LAN traffic on a single Ethernet wire.
• Improve network virtualization performance and scale with Tunnel Offload
  The HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter uses Tunnel Offload and a 2x bandwidth improvement to take full advantage of overlay networking. Increase I/O throughput and reduce CPU and power consumption using Tunnel Offload. Increase the scale of VMs/VLANs and simplify network services provisioning.
• Improve operational agility with faster VM migration and storage data access
  The HPE FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter provides faster Microsoft Hyper-V live migration (using SMB with RoCE instead of TCP/IP). Reduce CPU consumption, lower latency and improve host VM density and server efficiency using RoCE.
