The HPE 701534-001 FlexFabric 2-Port 10Gb PCIe 2.0 Adapter

The HPE 701534-001 FlexFabric 2-Port 10Gb PCIe 2.0 533FLR-T Adapter is a high-performance server network interface solution designed for enterprise-class Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 rack and tower servers. This adapter belongs to the FlexFabric family, which integrates advanced networking capabilities including Ethernet, storage networking, and virtualization optimization within a single converged network adapter (CNA) architecture.

Built to support modern data center requirements, this dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter provides improved bandwidth, reduced latency, and enhanced workload consolidation. It is widely deployed in virtualized environments, cloud infrastructures, and enterprise applications requiring consistent throughput and reliability.

PCI Express 2.0 Interface Design

The adapter operates on a PCI Express 2.0 interface, ensuring compatibility with HPE ProLiant server architectures while maintaining stable high-speed data transfer between server CPU and network fabric. PCIe 2.0 provides a theoretical bandwidth of 5 GT/s per lane, enabling efficient data movement for demanding workloads such as virtualization, database processing, and high-volume transaction systems.

Dual-Port 10Gb Ethernet Connectivity

Equipped with two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the adapter enables aggregated bandwidth capabilities and redundancy for mission-critical workloads. This dual-port configuration supports link aggregation (LACP) and failover mechanisms, ensuring continuous network availability even in case of port or link failure.

FlexFabric Converged Networking Technology

The FlexFabric architecture integrates traditional Ethernet networking with storage protocols such as iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). This convergence reduces the need for multiple dedicated adapters, simplifying infrastructure design and reducing operational costs in enterprise data centers.

High-Speed Data Transfer Capabilities

The 10Gb Ethernet capability ensures ultra-fast data transfer rates, which are essential for high-performance computing environments. Applications such as virtualization clusters, big data analytics, and cloud workloads benefit significantly from the increased throughput.

Hardware Offloading Features

The adapter supports multiple offloading features including TCP/IP checksum offload, segmentation offload, and virtualization offloads. These capabilities reduce CPU overhead and enhance server efficiency in multi-tenant environments.

Gen9 Server

In Gen9 HPE ProLiant servers, the 533FLR-T adapter provides seamless integration with existing FlexFabric configurations. It supports enterprise workloads requiring stable 10Gb connectivity for virtualization and storage convergence.

Gen10 Server

In Gen10 environments, the adapter continues to deliver reliable performance with enhanced firmware and driver support. It is optimized for next-generation workloads, including hybrid cloud deployments and containerized applications.

Cloud Computing Deployments

Cloud service providers rely on high-performance network adapters like this model to deliver scalable and reliable connectivity. Its dual-port 10Gb capability supports cloud workload balancing and distributed application architecture.

Enterprise Storage Connectivity

With support for iSCSI and FCoE, the adapter enables unified storage and network traffic management. This convergence simplifies storage architecture and improves data access efficiency in enterprise environments.

Improved Server Efficiency

By offloading network processing tasks, the adapter allows server CPUs to focus on application workloads rather than network overhead. This improves overall system efficiency and increases workload density per server.

Durability and Enterprise Reliability

Built to enterprise-grade standards, the adapter is engineered for long-term reliability in 24/7 mission-critical operations commonly found in enterprise data centers.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

In VDI environments, where multiple users access virtual desktops simultaneously, the adapter provides stable and high-speed connectivity essential for smooth user experiences.

High-Performance Computing

HPC clusters benefit from low latency and high bandwidth networking, enabling faster inter-node communication and improved computational performance.
