About the HPE P08446-B21 - HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 524SFP+ Adapter

This full-height, half-length (FHHL) form factor adapter is engineered for enterprise servers where chassis density and thermal management matter as much as throughput. The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 524SFP+ Adapter (P08446-B21) delivers 20 Gbps aggregate bandwidth across two SFP+ ports, each capable of 10 Gbps line rate, making it ideal for network engineers and infrastructure teams modernizing datacenter connectivity without wholesale server replacement.

Built around the Broadcom BCM57412 controller, this adapter connects via PCIe 3.0 x8 to HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers, supporting Ethernet, iSCSI, and NFS protocols with hardware offload capabilities including TSO, LSO, LRO, RSS, and IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload. SR-IOV virtualization support enables efficient multi-tenant deployments on VMware vSphere ESXi, Microsoft Windows Server, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments. HPE iLO and Smart Update Manager (SUM) integration streamline management, while CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance meet global regulatory requirements. The included low-profile bracket provides flexibility for confined installation spaces. HPE Single Point of Support ensures unified accountability across your infrastructure stack.

Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios

  • High-speed storage area network (SAN) access via iSCSI in virtualized HPE ProLiant environments requiring dual 10 Gbps paths
  • NFS-based network file system acceleration for scale-out NAS architectures and hybrid cloud storage integration
  • Multi-tenant virtual machine network isolation using SR-IOV on vSphere ESXi clusters
  • Redundant uplink configurations in legacy Gen10 servers undergoing incremental network modernization
  • Low-latency Ethernet fabric for time-sensitive enterprise applications on Windows Server or Linux compute nodes
