The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB adapter supports Virtual Connect Flex-10 that allows each 10Gb port to be divided into four physical NICs to optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. When connected to a Data Center Bridging (DCB) capable switch, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Ethernet I/O are separated and routed to the corresponding network. For iSCSI storage, the HPE 554FLB supports full protocol offload providing better CPU efficiency when compared to software initiators thus enabling the server to handle increased virtualization workloads and compute-intensive applications. This combination of high-performance network and storage connectivity reduces cost and complexity and provides the flexibility and scalability to fully optimize Gen8 BladeSystem servers. The HPE 554FLB delivers the performance benefits and cost savings of converged network connectivity for HPE BladeSystem servers. The dual-port HPE 554FLB optimizes network and storage traffic with hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI.

Industry-leading throughput and latency performance, Supports Gen8 c-Class ProLiant BladeSystem servers in the designated FlexibleLOM slots. FlexibleLOM adapter that provides the flexibililty to choose the type of LOM to meet growing infrastructure needs, Dual 10Gb ports provide up to 40Gb full duplex per adapter, Hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI, IEEE 802.1p QoS 802.3x flow control, and 802.3ap 10GBase-KR, Jumbo frames support, Supports the HPE Flex-10 and FlexFabric technologies that allow setting any bandwidth from 100Mb to 10Gb on up to four physical function NICs or Flex NICs per port when combined with the 10Gb Flex-10 Virtual Connect module. One of the Flex NICs can be configured to support FCoE or accelerated iSCSI. Each FlexNIC and FlexHBA is recognized by the server as a PCI-e physical function device with adjustable speeds from 1Gb to 10Gb in 100Mb increments, Supports receive-side scaling (RSS) for the efficient distribution of network receive processing across multiple CPUs in multiprocessor systems. Includes 128MB of onboard memory, Supports Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE), Supports Wake On LAN (WOL), Supports SR-IOV.
The 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex) delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks.
Combines the functionality of an industry-standard NIC with an industry-proven Fibre Channel to seamlessly converge the traffic over a shared lossless CEE Ethernet network.
The HPE 554FLB support for jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permits up to a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet and/or iSCSI I/O, which is over five times the size of standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. Eight KB jumbo frames are supported when running Ethernet and FCoE I/O concurrently. Jumbo frames can help achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.
The HPE 554FLB adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and improve workload balance. These capabilities optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.
