HP NC522m Dual Port Flex 10 10GbE Multifunction BL-c Adapter

The NC522m is a dual port, IEEE 10GBase-KR 10 Gigabit Ethernet network adapter for ProLiant c-Class BladeSystem based on the NetXen 3031 controller. For customers who have come to rely on NetXen performance, the NC522m is supported on the HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module for BladeSystem c-Class to enable Flex-10 on most Proliant blade servers. The NC522m also supports full 10GbE connections when used with the ProCurve 6120XG or other 10Gb interconnect modules.

• Supported on the HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module for BladeSystem c-Class providing a complete Flex-10 solution.
• Dual 10GbE ports provide up to theoretical 40Gb full duplex operation
• Based on the NetXen 3031 controller

• Define up to 4 independent physical function NICs per port
• Change bandwidth per NIC to adapt for VMotion and network requirements
• Manage each independent NIC as part of a server profile

• 20,000 Mbps theoretical bandwidth per port full duplex facilitates consolidation of workloads and applications into fewer and fewer servers.
• Applications such as database clusters, grid systems, server I/O and fabric consolidation, VoIP, and VOD.
• Unified fabrics simplify networking infrastructures and can greatly reduce costs associated with purchasing and managing IT resources.

Customers with networks who have standardized on NetXen network controllers

• Reduce the number of upstream ports, reduce cables and maintenance
• Fewer ports equate to less power and cooling, better equipment utilization
