HPE ADP BCM57504 10G/25G SFP28 x4 (P42265-001)

This quad-port network interface card delivers up to 100 Gbps aggregate throughput with Broadcom BCM57504 controller and SFP28 connectivity for 10/25GbE networks. Engineered for HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers, it accelerates demanding workloads with RoCEv2, SR-IOV, and advanced offloads.

Advantages

Four independent SFP28 ports provide flexible link aggregation or segmentation, while PCIe 4.0 x8 host interface eliminates bottlenecks. Full hardware offloads for VXLAN, NVGRE, and RDMA reduce CPU overhead, improving application performance in virtualized and software-defined environments.

Suitable for

• High-frequency trading and financial analytics requiring ultra-low latency
• AI/ML data pipelines and distributed storage clusters
• Server virtualization with SR-IOV and network function virtualization (NFV)
• Converged infrastructure running RoCEv2 for remote direct memory access

Key specifications

• Broadcom BCM57504 controller with 4x SFP28 cages
• Supports 10GbE and 25GbE per port (IEEE 802.3ae, 802.3by)
• PCI Express 4.0 x8 host interface, standard profile bracket
• RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2), SR-IOV, VXLAN, NVGRE offloads
• Jumbo frames, PXE boot, full duplex, NC-SI, UEFI, iLO management
• Compatible with HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus and Gen11 servers

Recommendations

For data centers modernizing to 25GbE, this HPE adapter provides a seamless upgrade path with backward compatibility to 10GbE optics and DACs. Validate SFP28 transceiver compatibility with HPE's approved list to ensure optimal performance and warranty coverage.
