HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter
The HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter for ProLiant Gen9 server blades provides full-featured, high performance
converged 20Gb Ethernet that accelerates IT services and increases data center efficiency across a broad range of I/O intensive
enterprise, cloud and Telco workloads.
When connected to HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Modules, the HP FlexFabric 650FLB adapter provides 20GbE
performance. It offers a rich set of offload technologies including overlay network tunneling and storage, increasing
virtualization performance and host efficiency. The HP 650FLB is a dual-speed adapter that can also operate at 10GbE when
connected to HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module or HP 6125XLG Ethernet Switch.
The HP 650FLB also supports RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) which increases host efficiency and lowers latency. RoCE is
supported with the HP 6125XLG, and other 10GbE switches.
Combining both the FlexibleLOM and Mezzanine adapters in a single BladeSystem Proliant server can provide up to 80Gbps of
converged bi-directional Ethernet bandwidth, helping to alleviate network bottlenecks.
