This article aims to provide a detailed understanding of the key features, benefits, and applications of this adapter card.
Understanding the BasicsLenovo 00MM960 OverviewThe Lenovo 00MM960 is a high-performance VPI (Virtual Protocol Interconnect) adapter card designed to enhance data transfer capabilities in various networking environments. Its notable features include support for EDR IB (Enhanced Data Rate InfiniBand) at 100Gb/s and 100GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) connectivity through Dual-Port QSFP (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) interface.
EDR IB (100Gb/s) and 100GbEEnhanced Data Rate InfiniBand (EDR IB)EDR IB is a high-speed interconnect technology used for data-intensive applications, providing a data transfer rate of 100 gigabits per second (Gb/s). This enables rapid and efficient communication between devices, making it ideal for scenarios where low latency and high bandwidth are critical.
100GbE ConnectivityThe 100GbE standard represents the next level of Ethernet connectivity, offering a data rate of 100 gigabits per second. This high-speed Ethernet is particularly valuable in modern data centers and enterprise networks, supporting the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth in today's digital landscape.
Dual-Port QSFP InterfaceThe Dual-Port QSFP interface on the Lenovo 00MM960 allows for versatile connectivity options. QSFP connectors, with four channels in a single compact module, enable efficient data transfer and are commonly used in high-speed networking equipment.
PCIe 3.0 x16 InterfaceThe PCIe 3.0 x16 interface ensures a high-speed connection to the host system, maximizing the data transfer capabilities of the adapter card. This interface is commonly found in modern computers and servers, providing a robust and reliable connection for demanding applications.
Low-Profile Design and RoHS ComplianceThe low-profile design of the Lenovo 00MM960 makes it suitable for space-constrained environments, such as compact servers or systems with limited expansion space. Additionally, the card is compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations, contributing to environmentally friendly and sustainable IT practices.
Key Features and SpecificationsDual-Port CapabilityThe dual-port configuration allows the card to handle multiple data streams simultaneously, optimizing throughput and supporting diverse networking applications. This capability is particularly beneficial in scenarios where redundancy or load balancing is crucial.
Quality of Service (QoS)Quality of Service (QoS) is a critical aspect of network management, ensuring that different applications and services receive the appropriate level of priority and resources. The Lenovo 00MM960 incorporates QoS features to prioritize and manage data traffic effectively.
Reliability and ScalabilityDesigned with reliability in mind, the ConnectX-4 VPI Adapter Card is suitable for mission-critical applications. Its scalability enables users to expand their network infrastructure as needed, accommodating growing data requirements in a flexible and efficient manner.
