HPE Adapters with Intel OPA QuickSpecs
Table of Contents
Designed to provide a high-performance and scalable fabric for high performance computing (HPC) systems built with HPE ProLiant XL and DL servers
Intel Omni-Path Adapters, an element of the Intel Omni-Path Architecture, use an advanced "on-load" design that scales fabric performance with rising server core counts, making these adapters ideal for today's increasingly demanding workloads.
Combined with Intel Omni-Path Switches, Intel Omni-Path Adapters deliver low latency and up to 100 Gbps bandwidth, ideal for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications in HPC data centers.
