|
| Q3. |
What's new about the NC110T compared to earlier ProLiant server Gigabit NIC products? |
| A3. |
The new features that the NC110T offers that are not included with previous single port copper Gigabit NIC products are:
- Intel 82572GI PCIe Gigabit controller
- Flexible to order and install - either standard or low profile capability with only 1 sku
- Fully RoHS compliant for the European market
- Supports TCP Checksum and Segmentation (LSO) offloading to reduce CPU utilization.

|
| Q4. |
The NC110T has less onboard memory than its predecessors, the NC1020 and the NC7771, so won't there be a performance impact? |
| A4. |
'More' is not always better because when moving from older PCI-X based technology to newer PCI Express technology, there are enough architecture improvements in the PCIe MAC that reduce the need for a larger FIFO buffer space.
|
|
| Health & Management |
| Q1. |
Q1 What management solutions are available for the NC110T?
|
| A1. |
The NC110T supports the HP ProLiant Essentials, including:
- SmartStart - intelligent integration tool that simplifies the process of installing and configuring ProLiant systems.
- HP Systems Insight Manager - comprehensive systems management tools designed to provide proactive and industry leading predicative fault and performance management.
- Intelligent Networking Pack - optional software package allowing ProLiant servers to intelligently change the network path to achieve maximum reliability and performance and also reduce virus threats before they spread to the entire network.
It also is supported by the Network Configuration Utility (NCU) that allows it to work in multi-vendor, heterogeneous network teams.
