In the world of computing, a network interface card (NIC) is a hardware component that enables a computer to connect to a network. It is responsible for sending and receiving data between the computer and other devices on the network. In this article, we will explore one such network interface card: the YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card.
YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Ethernet PCIe Network Interface CardThe YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card is a high-speed network interface card designed to connect servers to Ethernet networks. It is manufactured by Mellanox Technologies, a company that specializes in providing high-performance networking solutions for data centers, cloud computing, and other enterprise applications. The YC9K6 is designed to be used in servers running in data centers or other high-performance computing environments.
Features of the YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface CardThe YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card is packed with features that make it ideal for use in high-performance computing environments. Some of these features include:
High-Speed ConnectivityThe YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card is designed to provide high-speed connectivity to servers. It has two ports, each capable of providing 100 Gigabit per second (Gbps) of bandwidth, which means that it can deliver a total of 200 Gbps of bandwidth. This makes it ideal for use in data centers and other high-performance computing environments where fast and reliable network connectivity is essential.
PCIe InterfaceThe YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card uses a PCIe interface to connect to the server. PCIe is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that provides a low-latency and high-bandwidth connection between the NIC and the server. This ensures that the NIC can deliver its high-speed connectivity without being bottlenecked by a slower interface.
Dual-Port DesignThe YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card has a dual-port design, which means that it has two physical ports for connecting to the network. This provides redundancy and load balancing, which means that if one port fails, the other can continue to operate, ensuring that the server remains connected to the network.
Mellanox ConnectX-4 TechnologyThe YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card uses Mellanox ConnectX-4 technology, which is a high-performance Ethernet adapter solution that provides advanced features such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), hardware offloads, and congestion control. These features enable the NIC to provide high-speed, low-latency, and reliable connectivity.
Energy EfficiencyThe YC9K6 Dell Mellanox Connectx-4 Dual Port 100 Gigabit Server Adapter Ethernet PCIe Network Interface Card is designed to be energy-efficient. It uses Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) technology, which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity. This helps to reduce the overall energy consumption of the server and lowers its carbon footprint.
