Description
Product Overview
CX322A-DELL is a network adapter manufactured by Dell, a leading technology company. The Dell ConnectX-3 10GBE Dual Port PCI-E 3.0 X 8 Network Adapter is designed to provide high-speed connectivity to servers and storage devices in a data center environment. This adapter offers dual-port connectivity and supports 10 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology, making it an ideal solution for data centers looking to upgrade their network infrastructure.
Features and Specifications
The CX322A-DELL network adapter is designed to support high-performance computing and virtualization environments. The adapter is equipped with Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro Ethernet Controller, which delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer. This controller supports 10 GbE connectivity and offers advanced features like hardware-based I/O virtualization and Quality of Service (QoS).
The network adapter uses PCI-E 3.0 X 8 interface to connect to the server’s motherboard. This interface provides a high-speed connection between the adapter and the server, allowing for efficient data transfer. The adapter is also equipped with a high-profile bracket, which makes it compatible with servers that have full-height PCIe slots.
Dual-Port Connectivity
The CX322A-DELL network adapter offers dual-port connectivity, allowing for redundancy and load balancing. This means that if one port fails or becomes overloaded, the other port can take over, ensuring that data transfer is not interrupted. Additionally, the adapter supports link aggregation, which allows multiple ports to be combined to form a single logical connection. This can improve bandwidth and provide additional redundancy.
Virtualization Support
The CX322A-DELL network adapter is designed to support virtualization environments. The adapter supports Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which allows a single physical network adapter to appear as multiple virtual adapters. This can improve network performance by reducing virtualization overhead and improving I/O efficiency.
QoS Support
The CX322A-DELL network adapter also supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, which allow administrators to prioritize network traffic based on its importance.
