Overview

The HP NC340T PCI-X Quad-port Gigabit Server Adapter features four 10/100/1000T Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single card, saving valuable ProLiant server I/O slots for other purposes. The four gigabit ports offer the greatest bandwidth in an NC-series Ethernet adapter, ideal for virtualization, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other server applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. Each port supports a PCI-X 64-bit/133MHz interface, which is also compatible with traditional PCI slots. The 10/100/1000 Mb/s capability enables the NC340T to be used in Ethernet or Fast Ethernet legacy wiring plants.

Tested and proven to meet demanding HP standards, the NC340T is supported on a wide variety of ProLiant servers and major operating systems. The optional HP Insight software Intelligent Network Pack provides proactive adaptation to changes in the network infrastructure.


What's new

HP NC340T PCI-X Quad-port Gigabit Server Adapter available with four 10/100/1000T Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single PCI-X network card.


Ideal environment

Ideal for...

VMware virtualization and other connection-dense applications
  • Best practices for VMware recommend a minimum of three NIC ports, although failover, load balancing, network segmentation, and bandwidth needs often require more.
Slot-constrained ProLiant servers
  • With four ports on a single PCI-X card, the NC340T conserves valuable PCI slots.
Network segmentation and server consolidation
  • The NC340T permits segmenting network traffic to multiple switches to help IT organizations support unpredictable network demands and improve network data security and reliability.
  • Consolidating workloads and applications into fewer and fewer servers often necessitates the need for increased network adapter bandwidth and physical ports.
