HP 25GbE Network Interface Card is a 25 Gigabit Ethernet server adapter using SFP28 connectors — backward-compatible with SFP+ optics and DAC cables, so the same port can run at 10GbE on older infrastructure. Cards in this class commonly use a Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx or Intel XXV710-class chipset, over a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, with dual ports auto-negotiating down to 10GbE or 1GbE.
Typical Use
25GbE has become a common step up from 10GbE for storage fabric and virtualization hosts that need more bandwidth per port without jumping straight to 40GbE or 100GbE. Since it auto-negotiates down, it's a safe upgrade path even if your switch infrastructure isn't 25GbE-ready yet — you'll just run at 10GbE until it is.
