» Key Benefits

The HP NC326m features two Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single mezzanine card. The x4 PCI Express NC326m adapter is supported on all ProLiant c-Class servers in any mezzanine slot. Multiple adapters can be installed per server. The NC326m is designed for applications requiring additional Gigabit Ethernet ports than those provided on the server. It is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other BladeSystem applications requiring additional network port density and bandwidth.

Tested and proven to meet demanding BladeSystem standards, the NC326m ships with the advanced server features that ProLiant customers have come to expect, such as support for failover and load balancing, TCP/IP checksum offloading, large send offloading, Wake-on-LAN, PXE, jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, and much more.

What's new

The NC326m allows an additional two (2) Gigabit Ethernet ports per mezzanine slot for high density LAN port connectivity per server.

Ideal environment

VMware and other virtualization applications

  • Best practices for VMware recommend a minimum of three network adapter ports, although failover, dynamic workload balancing, network segmentation and bandwidth needs often require six or more.

Network segmentation

  • Multiple network ports permits segmenting network traffic to multiple switches to help IT organizations support unpredictable network demands and improve network data security and reliability.

Server consolidation

  • Consolidating workloads and applications into fewer and fewer servers often necessitates the need for increased network adapter bandwidth and physical ports.
