The HPE FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB adapter supports Virtual Connect Flex-10 that allows each 10Gb port to be divided into four physical NICs to optimize bandwidth management for virtualized servers. When connected to a Data Center Bridging (DCB) capable switch, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Ethernet I/O are separated and routed to the corresponding network. For iSCSI storage, the HPE 554FLB supports full protocol offload providing better CPU efficiency when compared to software initiators thus enabling the server to handle increased virtualization workloads and compute-intensive applications. This combination of high-performance network and storage connectivity reduces cost and complexity and provides the flexibility and scalability to fully optimize Gen8 BladeSystem servers. The HPE 554FLB delivers the performance benefits and cost savings of converged network connectivity for HPE BladeSystem servers. The dual-port HPE 554FLB optimizes network and storage traffic with hardware acceleration and offloads for stateless TCP/IP, TCP Offload Engine (TOE), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI.

One of the Flex NICs can be configured to support FCoE or accelerated iSCSI. Each FlexNIC and FlexHBA is recognized by the server as a PCI-e physical function device with adjustable speeds from 1Gb to 10Gb in 100Mb increments, Supports receive-side scaling (RSS) for the efficient distribution of network receive processing across multiple CPUs in multiprocessor systems. Includes 128MB of onboard memory, Supports Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE), Supports Wake On LAN (WOL), Supports SR-IOV. 

• The 20,000 Mbps full duplex Ethernet transfer rate per port (40 Gbps aggregate full duplex) delivers outstanding network performance that improves response time and removes bottlenecks.
• Combines the functionality of an industry-standard NIC with an industry-proven Fibre Channel to seamlessly converge the traffic over a shared lossless CEE Ethernet network.
• The HPE 554FLB support for jumbo frames (also known as extended frames) permits up to a 9K byte transmission unit (MTU) when running Ethernet and/or iSCSI I/O, which is over five times the size of standard 1500-byte Ethernet frame. Eight KB jumbo frames are supported when running Ethernet and FCoE I/O concurrently. Jumbo frames can help achieve higher throughput and better CPU utilization. Jumbo frames are particularly useful for database transfers and tape backups.
• The HPE 554FLB adapter support for NIC teaming helps IT administrators increase network fault tolerance and improve workload balance. These capabilities optimize availability, improve performance and help reduce costs.
• The HPE 554FLB adapter supports accelerated iSCSI and iSCSI INT 13 Boot
