HPE Intel E810-XXVDA2 Ethernet 10/25GB 2

Modern data centers and high-performance computing environments demand network connectivity that can keep pace with exponential data growth, virtualization density, and latency-sensitive workloads. The HP Intel E810-XXVDA2 Ethernet adapter addresses these challenges head-on, delivering dual-port 10/25GbE connectivity over SFP28 with PCIe 4.0 x8 host interface for maximum throughput and efficiency. Built on the Intel Ethernet Controller E810-XXVDA2, this adapter is engineered for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus, Synergy Gen10 Plus, and Apollo Gen10 Plus servers, providing a future-ready foundation for cloud, storage, and software-defined infrastructures.

Who is it for

This adapter is ideal for IT administrators, data center architects, and system integrators who need to upgrade server network capabilities to 25GbE speeds without compromising on advanced features. It suits enterprises deploying virtualized environments, NVMe over Fabrics, or high-frequency trading platforms where low latency and high packet processing are critical. Whether you are consolidating workloads, implementing RDMA-based storage, or building a scalable private cloud, this adapter delivers the performance and flexibility required.

Main features

• Dual SFP28 ports supporting 10/25GbE speeds for flexible network configurations.
• PCI Express 4.0 x8 host interface doubles bandwidth over previous generations, reducing bottlenecks.

Tips

To maximize performance, ensure your server has an available PCIe 4.0 x8 slot and that the latest firmware and drivers from HPE are installed. For 25GbE operation, use SFP28 transceivers or DAC cables certified for Intel E810 compatibility. Leverage DDP profiles to customize packet processing for specific workloads such as telecommunications or financial services. When deploying in virtualized environments, enable SR-IOV in BIOS and hypervisor settings to achieve near-native VM networking performance.
