Description
Product Details
The MCX516A-GCAT Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card is a PCI-E 2 Ports Adapter designed to provide high-speed network connectivity to servers and storage systems. It is built to meet the demands of modern data centers, which require high-performance networking capabilities to keep up with the growing demands of cloud computing, big data, and virtualization.
Specification of Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card
The Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card is a high-performance networking adapter that provides two ports of 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is designed to support a wide range of applications, including cloud computing, virtualization, big data, and storage. The card is built on the Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN controller, which provides advanced features such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), enhanced virtualization, and network offload capabilities.
PCI Express 3.0 Support
The MCX516A-GCAT Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card is designed to support PCI Express 3.0, which provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 8 GT/s per lane. This allows the card to deliver high-bandwidth connectivity to servers and storage systems, making it ideal for applications that require high-speed data transfer.
Enhanced Virtualization Support
The Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card is designed to provide enhanced virtualization support, which allows multiple virtual machines to share a single physical network adapter. This helps to reduce the number of network adapters required in a virtualized environment, which can help to reduce costs and simplify network management.
RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) Support
The Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card provides support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), which allows applications to bypass the TCP/IP stack and access data directly from memory. This can help to reduce latency and improve application performance in high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Network Offload Capabilities
The Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card provides advanced network offload capabilities, which offload network processing from the CPU to the adapter. This can help to improve server performance and reduce CPU utilization, which can help to improve application performance and reduce power consumption.
Finally, the MCX516A-GCAT Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card is a high-performance networking adapter that provides two ports of 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is designed to meet the demands of modern data centers, which require high-speed networking capabilities to keep up with the growing demands of cloud computing, big data, and virtualization. With advanced features such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), enhanced virtualization, and network offload capabilities, the Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN Ethernet Card is an ideal solution for high-performance computing environments.
