The HP Virtual Connect 1/10Gb-F Ethernet Module, with part number 447047-B21, is a highly versatile plug-in module designed for simplifying server connections within HP BladeSystem environments. It is engineered to streamline network configuration and offers a flexible combination of both 10Gb and 1Gb connectivity. This allows for greater adaptability to varying network infrastructures and bandwidth requirements.
The module offers 16 ports, ensuring sufficient connections for complex server setups. Eight of these ports are capable of operating at 10Gb Ethernet, allowing for high-speed data transfer essential for demanding applications and workloads. The remaining ports support 1Gb Ethernet, offering flexibility for environments where lower bandwidth connections are required. This combination ensures that data centres can handle a range of computing tasks and network configurations.
Designed as a plug-in module, the HP Virtual Connect 1/10Gb-F Ethernet Module fits seamlessly into HP BladeSystem enclosures, optimising the available space and reducing clutter caused by external cables. Additionally, it eliminates the need for compatibility concerns with external switches. By creating a direct connection between servers and the existing enterprise network, this module reduces administrator involvement with server NICs (Network Interface Cards), lowers network administration overhead, and significantly cuts down costs related to equipment and cables.
This Ethernet module also promotes network traffic separation, as it supports virtual LAN (VLAN) features. VLAN configurations allow traffic from different departments or services within the same organisation to remain segregated, providing additional layers of efficiency and security across network infrastructure.
