Overview

The HP StorageWorks CN1000E Dual Port Converged Network Adapter is a second- generation, low profile Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) PCIe adapter for HP ProLiant rack servers. The HP CN1000E Converged Network Adapter is based on the Emulex OneConnect™ platform that delivers industry- leading performance with a single-chip architecture that fully supports network convergence and Data Center Bridging (DCB) standards for lossless Ethernet.

The HP CN1000E Converged Network Adapter complements HP’s Converged Infrastructure architecture. This open architecture uses industry standards to converge storage, server, and network resources and provide seamless interoperability with existing data center core networks.

Optimized Network Connectivity

Lower cost

The HP CN1000E Converged Network Adapter can save up to 30% on capital expenses by reducing the number of adapter cards, switch ports and cables needed to support network and storage traffic.2

Lower power and cooling

The HP CN1000E Converged Network Adapter can reduce the number of adapter cards and switches, resulting in significant savings for power and cooling.

Consolidation with the latest Intel Xeon CPUs The HP CN1000E Converged Network Adapter, based on Emulex OneConnect Universal CNA (UCNA) technology, was designed to leverage the new features of Xeon processors beginning with the 5500 series, including MSI-X, QPI, PCI-Express 2.0, HTT and VT-d which all enable more I/O per CPU with protocol hardware offload technology.
