The WV6N8 Dell Connectx-4 Single Port EDR 100GB IB QSFP28 VPI Network Adapter is a hardware device used to provide network connectivity to a computer system. It is specifically designed to connect to InfiniBand (IB) networks, which are high-speed computer networks used for data communication between servers, storage systems, and other computing devices.
Connectx-4 Single Port Adapter OverviewThe Connectx-4 Single Port EDR 100GB IB QSFP28 VPI Network Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) that supports a data transfer rate of up to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). It uses the QSFP28 interface to connect to the InfiniBand network and provides a Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) capability that allows the NIC to support both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols.
InfiniBand (IB) and QSFP28 InterfacesInfiniBand is a high-speed interconnect technology used to connect computer systems and storage devices. It was developed to provide low-latency and high-bandwidth communication between computing devices in high-performance computing (HPC) environments. InfiniBand networks are commonly used in data centers, scientific research, and other computing applications that require high-speed data transfer.
QSFP28 is a form factor used for high-speed data transmission over optical fibers. The QSFP28 interface is used in the Connectx-4 Single Port EDR 100GB IB QSFP28 VPI Network Adapter to connect to the InfiniBand network. It provides four lanes of up to 28 Gbps each, resulting in a total bandwidth of up to 100 Gbps.
Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI)The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) capability of the Connectx-4 Single Port EDR 100GB IB QSFP28 VPI Network Adapter allows the NIC to support both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols. This means that the same hardware device can be used to connect to both types of networks, providing a high degree of flexibility and interoperability.
The VPI capability is implemented using firmware that enables the NIC to switch between InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols. This firmware can be updated as new features and capabilities are added to the adapter.
AdvantagesThe Connectx-4 Single Port EDR 100GB IB QSFP28 VPI Network Adapter provides several advantages over other network adapters:
High-speed data transfer: The adapter supports a data transfer rate of up to 100 Gbps, making it ideal for high-performance computing environments.
Flexibility: The VPI capability allows the adapter to support both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols, providing flexibility in network design and reducing the need for multiple network adapters.
Low latency: InfiniBand networks provide low-latency communication, which is important in high-performance computing applications where fast data transfer is critical.
Scalability: InfiniBand networks can be easily scaled to accommodate larger networks and higher bandwidth requirements.
Finally, the WV6N8 Dell Connectx-4 Single Port EDR 100GB IB QSFP28 VPI Network Adapter is a high-performance network adapter that provides fast, flexible, and low-latency communication for high-performance computing applications. Its support for both InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols provides a high degree of flexibility and interoperability, making it a versatile choice for network connectivity.
