What if you could double your bandwidth, simplify management and reduce compute I/O costs and complexity? The HPE Synergy 3820C 10/20Gb Converged Network Adapter is a key element in HPE composable fabric connecting pools of compute resources to networks with reliable, high-performing converged 10 or 20 Gb Ethernet connectivity. With Flex-20 Technology, the Synergy 3820C converges Ethernet and FCoE onto a single connection simplifying hardware and reducing costs. Each adapter replaces a 10 Gb NIC and 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBA simplifying I/O hardware by 50% and reducing costs up to 60%. The Synergy 3820C is an ideal choice for any virtualized or converged data center. Provisioning and updating Synergy 3820C are simple, reliable and fast using HPE Synergy's software-defined template-driven, frictionless operation. The HPE Synergy Composer automatically delivers proper firmware and driver coordination including staging updates for execution to avoid workload disruption.
