Up to 100Gb/s Ethernet Adapter Cards
ConnectX-5 Ethernet network interface cards provide high performance and
flexible solutions with up to two ports of 100GbE connectivity, 750ns latency,
up to 200 million messages per second (Mpps), and a record setting 197Mpps when
running an open source Data Path Development Kit (DPDK) PCIe (Gen 4.0). For
storage workloads, ConnectX-5 delivers a range of innovative accelerations, such
as Signature Handover (T10-DIF) in hardware, an embedded PCIe Switch, and NVMe
over Fabric target offloads. ConnectX-5 adapter cards also bring advanced Open
vSwitch offloads to telecommunications and cloud data centers to drive extremely
high packet rates and throughput with reduced CPU resource consumption, thus
boosting data center infrastructure efficiency.
ConnectX-5 adapter cards are available for PCIe Gen 3.0 and Gen 4.0 servers
and provide support for 1, 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100 GbE speeds in stand-up PCIe
cards, OCP 2.0, and OCP 3.0 form factors. ConnectX-5 cards also offer advanced
Multi-Host and Socket Direct technologies.
