- Combines the functionality of a NIC (Ethernet / iSCSI) and Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter (FC HBA) in a single converged adapter reducing the number of adapters and cables thus reducing acquisition and operational costs
- Dual port 10 Gb Ethernet converged network adapter
- Active Health System (AHS)
- RDMA capable, RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) / SMB Direct
- Sends Fiber Channel data packets via Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) using Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) functionality ensuring high standards of data integrity and lossless Ethernet
- Optimal for connecting into the B-series and C-series FCoE Converged Network Switches
The HPE StoreFabric Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) are 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 CNAs reduce the number of separate adapters and cables required for your data center and also reduce operational, power and cooling costs while preserving existing Ethernet and Fiber Channel infrastructure.
