With the exponential increase in usage of data & the creation of new applications, the demand for the highest throughput, lowest latency, virtualization & sophisticated data acceleration engines continues to rise. Connect X-4 Lx EN enables data centers to leverage the world's leading interconnect adapter for increasing their operational efficiency, improving servers'utilization, maximizing applications productivity, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). Connect X-4 Lx EN provides an unmatched combination of 1, 10, 25, 40, and 50 Gb E bandwidth, sub-microsecond latency & 75 million packets per second message rate. It
Includes:: native hardware support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet, Ethernet stateless offload engines, Overlay Networks, and GPUDirect Technology. Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) adapter Connect X-4 offers high throughput VPI adapter, supporting EDR Infini Band & Ethernet & enabling any standard networking, clustering, or storage to operate seamlessly over any converged network leveraging a consolidated software stack. Virtualization Connect X-4 SR-IOV technology provides dedicated adapter resources & guaranteed isolation & protection for virtual machines (VMs) within the server. I/O virtualization with Connect X-4 gives data center administrators better server utilization while reducing cost, power, and cable complexity, allowing more Virtual Machines & more tenants on the same hardware. Overlay networks In order to better scale their networks, data center operators often create overlay networks that carry traffic from individual virtual machines over logical tunnels in encapsulated formats such as NVGRE & VXLAN. While this solves network scalability issues, it hides the TCP packet from the hardware offloading engines, placing higher loads on the host CPU. Connect X-4 effectively addresses this by providing advanced NVGRE & VXLAN hardware offloading engines that encapsulate & de-capsulate the overlay protocol headers, enabling the traditional offloads to be performed on the encapsulated traffic. With Connect X-4, data center operators can achieve native performance in the network architecture.
