Why Choose HPE Network Interface Card

If you manage a data centre, a financial trading floor or a video-heavy service, you know that legacy 10 Gbps links quickly become a choke point. You may have struggled with frequent latency spikes, costly upgrades, or limited scalability. This card plugs directly into compatible HPE ProLiant Gen9/Gen10 and Apollo servers, giving you a future-proof solution that scales with your traffic while keeping power and space usage minimal.

Benefits of HPE Network Interface Card

• Faster data movement: Handles up to 25 Gbps per port, cutting transfer times.
• Lower latency: Offloads VXLAN/NVGRE tunnelling and supports RoCE, reducing CPU overhead.
• Improved efficiency: VMA firmware minimises buffer copies, freeing CPU cycles for applications.
• Seamless integration: Auto-negotiates to 10 GbE, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure.
• Energy-friendly: Consumes only 10.5 W, helping you meet green-IT goals.

Usages of a 25Gb Network Interface Card

Ideal for high-frequency trading platforms, virtualised environments running Hyper-V live migrations, and large-scale storage clusters that rely on SMB Direct. It also serves telco and service providers needing robust overlay networking, as well as any enterprise looking to future-proof its server fleet against growing bandwidth demands.
