P24438-B21 HPE Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Port SFP28 Adapter

P24438-B21 HPE X2522-25G Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Port SFP28 Adapter Overview

The P24438-B21 HPE X2522-25G Ethernet 10/25GB 2-Port SFP28 Adapter is a powerful networking solution designed for enterprise-grade performance. Built to handle demanding workloads, this adapter offers dual SFP28 ports supporting 10GbE and 25GbE speeds, giving organizations flexibility, scalability, and high data throughput. As businesses move toward faster networking infrastructures, the P24438-B21 ensures consistent performance, efficient resource utilization, and reduced latency across servers and data center networks.

High-Performance Networking for Modern Data Centers

Enterprise applications increasingly require high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity. The HPE X2522-25G Adapter is engineered to address these requirements, ensuring maximum performance with minimal system overhead. Its dual-port configuration allows for redundancy, load balancing, and flexible deployment in environments where uptime and performance are critical.

10/25GbE Dual-Port Flexibility

Supporting both 10GbE and 25GbE speeds, the adapter provides investment protection by enabling organizations to scale up networking speeds when required. This adaptability ensures that the P24438-B21 can integrate seamlessly with current infrastructure while being ready for future network expansions.

Optimized for Virtualization and Cloud Environments

Virtualized workloads demand low-latency and high-throughput connectivity. This adapter is optimized for such environments, offering support for single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV), network offloads, and hardware-based acceleration that reduces CPU utilization. These features improve application responsiveness and allow more VMs per server without sacrificing performance.

SR-IOV Capabilities

With SR-IOV support, the adapter partitions a single physical adapter into multiple virtual functions, allowing multiple workloads to share resources efficiently. This reduces latency and enhances VM-to-VM communication within the same host server.

Advanced Network Offloads

The adapter supports TCP/IP offload, checksum offload, and receive-side scaling (RSS). These features reduce processing load on the server’s CPU and ensure better networking efficiency, especially in high-traffic environments.

Reliability and Resiliency Features

Enterprise networks demand uptime and reliability, and the P24438-B21 adapter integrates several resiliency features. With two SFP28 ports, administrators can configure redundancy modes to ensure continuous connectivity in case of link or hardware failure.

Link Aggregation and Failover

Dual-port adapters allow for link aggregation, combining both ports to increase bandwidth while ensuring automatic failover capabilities. This ensures data continues to flow even if one port experiences downtime.

Data Security and Integrity

The adapter also incorporates advanced security features such as secure firmware updates, hardware root of trust, and encryption capabilities to protect against evolving network threats. Integrity of data transfer is guaranteed, supporting compliance with enterprise-grade security standards.

Compatibility with HPE ProLiant Servers

Designed and tested for seamless integration with HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen11 servers, the adapter ensures optimized performance and compatibility. Organizations deploying this adapter benefit from streamlined management through HPE tools and utilities, reducing configuration complexity and operational overhead.

HPE Server Management Integration

When paired with HPE’s server management ecosystem, such as iLO (Integrated Lights-Out), the adapter provides detailed monitoring, diagnostics, and alerting capabilities, enabling administrators to maintain network health proactively.
