Product Description
Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro VPI 56Gigabit Ethernet Card - PCI Express 3.0 x8 - 2 Port(s) - Optical Fiber - Plug-in Card
Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro VPI Adapter cards With Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) supporting Infini Band And Ethernet connectivity provide The highest performing And most flexible interconnect solution, offering high-bandwidth, low latency And industry-leading connectivity For Open Compute Project (OCP) server And storage applications in High Performance Computing, Web 2.0, Enterprise Data Centers And Cloud infrastructure.
Web2.0, public And private clouds, storage, And high performance computing are just a few applications that will benefit from The Use of Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro VPI Adapters For Open Compute Project (OCP) specification 2.0. The adapters deliver significant throughput And latency improvements resulting in faster access, real-time response And more virtual machines hosted Per server. Moreover, The adapters improve network performance by increasing available bandwidth while decreasing The associated transport load on The CPU especially in virtualized server environments.
Virtual Protocol Interconnect
VPI-enabled adapters enable any Standard networking, clustering And storage deployment To seamlessly operate over any converged network leveraging a consolidated Software stack. With auto-sense capability, each ConnectX-3 Pro port can identify And operate on InfiniBand, Ethernet, or Data Center Bridging (DCB) fabrics. Mellanox FlexBoot™ provides Additional flexibility by enabling servers To Boot from remote Infini Band or LAN storage targets. ConnectX-3 Pro With VPI And FlexBoot simplifies I/O system design And makes it easier For IT managers To deploy infrastructure that meets The challenges of a dynamic data center.
World-Class Performance
InfiniBand -
ConnectX-3 Pro delivers low latency, high bandwidth, And computing efficiency For performancedriven server And storage clustering applications. Efficient computing Is achieved by offloading from The CPU protocol processing And data movement overhead such as RDMA And Send/Receive semantics, allowing more processor power For The application. Mellanox CORE-Direct™ brings The next level of performance improvement by offloading application overhead such as data broadcasting And gathering as well as global synchronization communication routines. Gpu communication Acceleration provides Additional efficiencies by eliminating unnecessary internal data copies To significantly reduce application runtime. ConnectX-3 Pro advanced Acceleration technology enables higher cluster efficiency And large scalability To tens of thousands of nodes.
