HPE DL385 Gen10 Plus 12Gb NVMe 2-port Adapter

Unlock the full potential of your HPE DL385 Gen10 Plus with the 12Gb NVMe 2-port Adapter. This PCIe NVMe expansion card is engineered to deliver enterprise-grade speed and reliability, enabling your server to handle high-demand workloads with ease. By adding two high-performance NVMe ports, this adapter expands storage capacity while reducing latency, accelerating data access for databases, virtualization, analytics, and AI-ready pipelines. Built to integrate seamlessly within HP's ProLiant ecosystem, it offers straightforward installation, compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, and a lifecycle that aligns with enterprise IT strategy.

  • Two high-speed NVMe ports provide scalable storage expansion with reduced latency. These dual channels support parallel I/O, helping to minimize queueing bottlenecks during peak workloads and delivering smoother performance for mixed workloads, from OLTP databases to virtualized environments. The design leverages enterprise-grade firmware and firmware updates to maintain consistent performance over time.
  • 12Gb per second NVMe interface enabling superior throughput. Each port delivers robust data transfer capability that accelerates large file transfers, real-time data processing, and heavy I/O bursts. This translates to faster boot times, quicker database query responses, and improved application responsiveness under demanding conditions.
  • Designed for HPE DL385 Gen10 Plus servers for seamless integration and reliability. The adapter is validated for HP server platforms, with proven compatibility in HP firmware stacks and management tools. Expect reliable operation within HP’s end-to-end ecosystem, including streamlined deployment, monitoring, and firmware updates through supported management interfaces.
  • Optimized for data-intensive applications such as databases, virtualization, and real-time analytics. Ideal for Oracle and SQL Server databases, VMware ESXi or Hyper-V virtualization hosts, data warehouses, and analytics pipelines. The two-port NVMe expansion reduces latency and increases IOPs, helping to meet service levels and improve user experiences for mission-critical workloads.
  • Enterprise-grade controller firmware and robust compatibility with major operating systems. The adapter ships with firmware designed for enterprise environments, with ongoing support and updates. It offers broad OS compatibility, including Windows Server, Linux distributions (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, SUSE), and VMware ESXi, ensuring easy integration into existing stacks and future-proofing for new workloads.
