This item, QW990A, is the HPE option part number for the product described as StoreFabric CN1100R Dual Port Converged Network Adapter. Further details below.
The HPE StoreFabric CN1100R Dual Port Converged Network Adapter (QW990A) consolidates LAN and storage traffic onto a single 10Gb fabric, so you can simplify cabling and reduce adapter sprawl in your ProLiant racks. This PCI Express 2.0 x8 plug-in card delivers two 10GBASE-SR SFP+ fiber optic ports at 10 Gbps each, with support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), 10Gb Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) and iSCSI - giving one card the flexibility to handle networking and block storage side by side.
Built for data center reliability, QW990A is compliant with a broad set of IEEE standards including 802.1Q, 802.3ad (LACP), 802.3ae and the Data Center Bridging suite (802.1Qbb, 802.1Qaz, 802.1Qbg, 802.1Qbh) for lossless, prioritized converged traffic. Both low-profile and full-height brackets are included for flexible installation across rack and tower servers, and drivers are supported on Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. It operates from 32 °F to 131 °F at 5-95% non-condensing humidity, and weighs just 15.87 oz.
