HPE Intel E810-XXVDA2 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 OCP3 Adapter for Adapter

Network bottlenecks can cripple your data centre, leaving applications sluggish and users frustrated. The HPE Intel E810-XXVDA2 Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 OCP3 Adapter for Adapter is a high-speed Ethernet adapter that delivers reliable 10/25 Gbps connectivity for servers using the OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot, helping you keep traffic flowing smoothly.

Usages of a 25Gbps Ethernet adapter

Ideal for virtualised environments, high-performance computing clusters and storage networks, this adapter plugs into an OCP 3.0 slot and provides two SFP28 ports for flexible cabling. You can attach it to servers that need fast, low-latency links for workloads such as database replication, AI training or large-scale backups, ensuring consistent performance throughout the day.

Benefits of HPE Ethernet adapter

• Faster data transfer: 25Gbps speed cuts transfer times, keeping projects on schedule.
• Dual-port flexibility: Two SFP28 ports let you create redundant links or separate traffic streams.
• Secure boot support: Hardware root of trust and secure boot protect against firmware tampering.
• Virtualisation ready: SR-IOV, VMQueue and RSS optimise network resources for virtual machines.
• Broad protocol support: IPv4, IPv6, VXLAN, NVGRE and RoCE v2 enable modern data-centre architectures.

Why choose HPE Ethernet adapter

Choosing this HPE Ethernet adapter means you get a purpose-built solution that matches the rigour of enterprise data-centres. Its OCP 3.0 form factor fits seamlessly into modern server chassis, while the silver finish blends with standard hardware aesthetics. The adapter’s extensive feature set, from PXE boot to DPDK acceleration, ensures you have the tools needed for both current and future workloads without needing additional cards.

Beyond raw speed, the adapter offers robust management and security features. Audit logs and sanitisation capabilities help you meet compliance requirements, and DDIO technology improves memory bandwidth utilisation, delivering smoother performance under heavy load. With this adapter you avoid the hidden costs of multiple lower-speed cards and gain a single, reliable connection point for critical network traffic.
