HP StoreFabric Converged Network Adapters vs. Mail250

Do you need to combine the functionality of a NIC (Ethernet/iSCSI) and Fibre Channel HBA onto a single adapter and reducing the number of adapters and cables and space used as well as a [reduction] in operational, power and cooling costs while preserving your existing Ethernet and Fibre Channel infrastructure? Then look into HP SF CNA's, they are a great fit in most data centers. HP StoreFabric CNA's have undergone HPE interoperability testing for connecting HPE ProLiant servers into storage and networking environments.

I don't think it's well-suited for anyone. In my opinion, the low cost is not worth the extremely poor deliverability.

• By using the HP SF CNA's we the Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel connections are consolidated onto a single converged network adapter
• HP SF CNA's offer a wide range of connectivity on a single dependable interface adapter
• As with most HPE products, dependability, performance and utility are the docus

• Affordable
• Relatively easy to use
• Support was fine
• Has some attractive features like email verification

• The price is pretty high when compared to other CNA's, but we choose dependability and performance over cost

• In my experience, deliverability is terrible
• UI feels old and limited
• Did not follow up to refund request
• Due to my poor overall experience, I'm very doubtful in the reliability of their features like email verification

When optimizing ethernet and fiber topos, performance is always key. HP SF CNA's outperform every other hardware platform we tested. Add in the dependability of the HP SF CNA's specifically and HPE generally then you can see why we chose HP StoreFabric CNA's.

I picked Mail250 because they seem designed for sending 1-time bulk mail for an affordable price.
Open rates for MailerLite, GetResponse,
ConvertKit, and SendPulse were all over 50%. Sender.net was extremely low at under 10%. Mail250 was around 10%, but also had an extremely high bounce rate of 10%.

• With the reduction of the number of adapters and cables and maintaining the existing Fibre and Ethernet topology thus reducing acquisition, installation and operational costs
• Performance is high, Dependability is high = ROI is high

• Unable to use it due to poor deliverability
