HPE 656244-001 – 10GbE Dual-Port SFP+ Network Adapter

HPE 656244-001 – 10GbE Dual-Port SFP+ Network Adapter

Overview

HPE 656244-001 is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ network adapter designed for enterprise server environments requiring high-speed optical or DAC-based connectivity. It provides two independent 10GbE interfaces for reliable data center networking.

It is based on Intel 82599 controller architecture, delivering stable and high-performance networking for virtualization, storage, and cloud workloads.

The adapter is commonly installed in HPE ProLiant servers where multiple high-bandwidth network links are required for traffic separation and redundancy.

It connects through a PCIe interface and supports SFP+ optical transceivers as well as direct attach copper cables depending on deployment requirements.

It is widely used in enterprise data centers for scalable 10GbE networking infrastructure.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Used in enterprise data centers for 10GbE server-to-switch connectivity in rack-based environments. Common in virtualization clusters where separate NICs are assigned for management, storage, and application traffic. Also used in cloud and storage systems requiring reliable dual-port high-speed Ethernet connectivity.
