HP StoreFabric Converged Network Adapters vs. NetworkMiner

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.

The NetworkMiner software in my view is a software recommended for small and/or large companies, it may be less useful in small companies or offices, but it can also be used for simple analysis. In medium and large scenarios, it is very useful in analyzing network traffic and identifying possible security flaws, password exposures and weaknesses in the security of solutions and/or technologies used in the internal network.

• 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

Incentivized

• Credential capture exclusive tab
• Graphical interface for data analysis
• Exclusive intuitive host connection listing tab

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• MAC listing of hosts in listed connections
• Possibility to start capture focusing on only a specific host

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.

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• Increase in the possibility of identifying security flaws in trafficked data
• Monitor network traffic easily with no financial investment
