HP NC310F PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter

Overview
	The HP NC310F PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter is a single port 1000SX fiber-optic adapter option with 133 MHz PCI-X bus technology. Standard feature support included with NC310F consists of network failover and load balancing, PCI hot plug capability, jumbo frames, dual address cycles (DAC), TCP offload capability, pre-boot execution environment (PXE), and more. The NC310F also supports optional ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack that proactively adapts to changes in the network infrastructure.
	What's new
	Optional ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack that proactively adapts to changes in the network infrastructure.
	Ideal environment
	Customers who require optimized server availability and performance from their networking infrastructure. Problems and Requirements Desire for network to proactively adapt to problems that could impact server uptime and performance Deliver availability comparable to more expensive infrastructure products at a fraction of the cost Typical Use Server-to-server backbone connections at 1000 Mb/s Server to high-performance workstations Solving the Customer Problem The NC310F PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter supports the ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Networking Pack. This option maximizes availability and performance by proactively gathering information on the state of the network infrastructure to steer traffic to the most efficient port and by selecting the network path that provides greatest bandwidth. More information is available at the ProLiant Essentials home page. Large and mid-size installations that want to deploy fiber-optic products across their enterprise. Problems and Requirements The wiring plant in many organizations is category 5 twisted-pair cabling, which has significant distance limitations Fiber-optic cabling is preferred to twisted-pair cabling in order to increase security and EMI protection Companies want to reduce network complexity by making fiber optic cabling standard in server environments Typical Use Server-to-server and/or server-to-switch connections at 1000 Mb/s often over distances exceeding 100 meters Solving the Customer Problem The NC310F PCI-X Gigabit Server Adapter allows customers to easily move from twisted-pair to fiber-optic cabling. This decision is typically motivated by the need to support greater distances, the desire for greater security, or for EMI protection in noisy environments, e.g. manufacturing plants. Some customers want to future-proof their environment by deploying fiber-optic cabling to support Gigabit Ethernet speeds rather than use copper wiring for their gigabit requirements.
