The HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-Port 331T Adapter features the next generation of Ethernet integration, offering a single chip solution that reduces power requirements and optimizes I/O slot utilization. It delivers full line-rate performance across all ports with low power consumption. The HP 331T is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. The total aggregate throughput of 4Gb meets the needs of customers desiring high bandwidth. The HP 331T supports advanced features such as Large Send and Receive offload capability, TCP checksum and segmentation, VLAN tagging, MSI-X, jumbo frames, IEEE 1588, and virtualization features such as VMware NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ. Support for HP Sea of Sensors 3D Technology enhances server performance while reducing energy use and expense.

The Cisco Nexus B22 Series Blade Fabric Extenders are designed to simplify data center server access architecture and operations in environments in which third-party blade servers are used. The Cisco Nexus B22 Series, together with the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders, Cisco Adapter Fabric Extender (Adapter- FEX), and Cisco Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX), is part of the Cisco Fabric Extender (FEX) portfolio, which provides a highly scalable unified server access platform supporting 100 Megabit to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over both fiber and copper, rack or blade form factors, and data center bridging protocols. The platform offers the ideal support for the integration of third-party blade chassis into a Cisco Unified Fabric.

The 10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver will transmit 10GbpE over up to 30m using Cat 6a/7 cable, providing high speed bi-directional communication links over copper media.
