The HP NC364T PCI Express Quad-Port Gigabit Server Adapter features four 10/100/1000T Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single card, saving valuable server I/O slots for other purposes. The four ports provide the highest density available for ProLiant servers in a single adapter. The NC364T is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other applications requiring maximum throughput and port density. The total aggregate throughput of 4Gb meets the needs for customers desiring high bandwidth but are not yet ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The NC364T is a low-profile card with both full height and half height brackets included in the kit. The x4 PCI Express interface is compatible with x4, x8, and x16 PCI Express slots. Tested and proven to meet demanding HP standards, the NC364T provides full driver support on a wide variety of ProLiant servers. The adapter ships with teaming drivers for all major operating systems, teaming utilities, multiple VLAN tagging capability, configuration utilities, and support for the optional HP ProLiant Essentials Intelligent Network Pack that proactively adapts to changes in the network infrastructure.
VMware and other applications requiring multiple network connections
Best practices for VMware recommend a minimum of three network adapter ports, although failover, dynamic workload balancing, network segmentation and bandwidth needs often require six or more.
Slot-constrained ProLiant servers
With four ports on a single PCIe card, the NC364T conserves valuable PCI Express slots for other purposes.
Network segmentation, server consolidation, and increased bandwidth needs
The NC364T permits segmenting network traffic to multiple switches to help IT organizations support unpredictable network demands and improve network data security and reliability. Consolidating workloads and applications into fewer and fewer servers often necessitates the need for increased network adapter bandwidth and physical ports. * For customers requiring added bandwidth, but are not ready to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the four 10/100/1000T ports offer the greatest port throughput for a ProLiant Gigabit Ethernet adapter
