HPE Synergy Interconnect Link Module - Network management device - 12 ports - 50GbE - DC power - rack-mountable

The HPE Synergy Interconnect Link Module, satellite module, is designed for Composable Infrastructure. Based on disaggregated, rack-scale design, it uses a master / satellite architecture to consolidate data center network connections, reduce hardware and scale network bandwidth across multiple HPE Synergy Frames. This module extends Hewlett Packard Enterprise composable fabric up to four additional satellite frames with 10 Gb connectivity to Synergy compute modules and replaces a fixed ratio of interconnects in each frame by extending the fluid pool of network resources from the master module.
The master module contains intelligent networking capabilities that extend connectivity to frames equipped with satellite modules. This reduces the need for top of rack switches and substantially decreases cost. The reduction in components simplifies fabric management at scale while consuming fewer ports at the data center aggregation layer.

• 12 x 10GbE downlinks to compute module mezzanine adapters
• Each downlink supports up to 3 FlexNICs and 1 FlexHBA or 4 FlexNICs
• Each FlexHBA can be configured to transport either Fiber Channel over Ethernet / CEE or Accelerated iSCSI protocol
• Integrated Synergy composer with composer based HPE OneView included with every frame, providing out-of-the-box management of Interconnect Link Modules
• Pre-configure server I/O configurations prior to server installation for easy deployment
• Move, add, or change server network connections on the fly without impacting LAN and SAN administrator
• Provisioned storage resource is associated directly to a specific virtual machine
• Centralized configuration of boot from Fiber Channel network storage via composer based HPE OneView
