NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-5 adapters offer advanced hardware offloads to reduce CPU resource consumption and drive extremely high packet rates and throughput. This boosts data center infrastructure efficiency and provides the higher performance and more flexible solution for Web 2.0, Cloud, Data Analytics and Storage platforms.
- Maximum 100 Gb/s Ethernet per port
- Adaptive routing on reliable transport
- NVMe over Fabric (NVMf) target offloads
- Enhanced vSwitch and vRouter offloads
- Hardware offloads for NVGRE and VXLAN encapsulated traffic
- End-to-end QoS and congestion control
RoCE
The NVIDIA RoCE technology encapsulates packet transport over Ethernet and lowers CPU load to enable a high bandwidth and low latency network infrastructure for networking and storage-intensive applications.
ASAP
The groundbreaking NVIDIA ASAP technology delivers innovative SR-IOV and VirtIO acceleration by offloading Open vSwitch datapath from the host's CPU to the adapter to enable extreme performance and scalability.
SR-IOV
ConnectX adapters leverage SR-IOV to separate access to physical resources and functions in virtualized environments. This diminishes I/O overhead and allows adapters to maintain near non-virtualized performance.
