HPE P26262-B21 10/25Gb SFP28 Dual Port Network Adapter

Overview

HPE P26262-B21 is a dual-port SFP28 Ethernet adapter used in enterprise rack servers for high-speed network connectivity. It is deployed by IT teams to support bandwidth-heavy workloads such as virtualization, storage replication, and cloud applications.

It provides 10GbE and 25GbE connectivity using a Broadcom BCM57414 controller with PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface. This allows consistent low-latency data transfer for modern data center traffic patterns.

It fits into HPE ProLiant server environments where scalable and reliable network throughput is required across clustered and virtualized workloads. It is commonly used in enterprise data centers and private cloud infrastructure.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• Virtualization clusters requiring high network throughput
• Cloud infrastructure workloads in data centers
• Storage traffic acceleration (iSCSI / Ethernet-based storage)
• High-density enterprise server environments
• HPC and compute cluster networking
