ConnectX® -2 EN
10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapters with PCI Express 2.0

ConnectX-2 EN Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NIC) deliver high bandwidth and industry-leading 10GigE connectivity with stateless offloads for converged fabrics in High-Performance Computing, Enterprise Data Centers, and Embedded environments.

Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and IP video servers are just a few example applications that will achieve significant throughput and latency improvements resulting in faster access, real time response and increased number of users per server. ConnectX-2 EN improves network performance by increasing available bandwidth to the CPU and providing enhanced performance, especially in virtualized server environments.

ConnectX-2 EN protects investments by providing in hardware support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) as well as technologies such as SR-IOV that provide enhanced virtual machine performance for virtualized servers.

Optimal Price/Performance
ConnectX-2 EN removes I/O bottlenecks in mainstream servers that are limiting application performance. Servers supporting PCI Express 2.0 with 5GT/s will be able to fully utilize both 10Gb/s ports, balancing the I/O requirement of these high-end servers. Hardware-based stateless offload engines handle the TCP/UDP/IP segmentation, reassembly, and checksum calculations that would otherwise burden the host. Stateless offload connections are also easy to scale using multiple adapters to reach the desired level of performance and fault tolerance. Total cost of ownership is optimized by maintaining an end-to-end Ethernet network on existing operating systems and applications.

Mellanox provides 10GigE adapters suitable for all network environments. The dual port SFP+ adapter supports 10GBASE-SR, -LR, and direct attached copper cable providing the flexibility to connect over short, medium, and long distances. The dual port 10GBASE-CX4 adapter with its powered connectors can utilize active copper and fiber cables as well as passive copper.

Converged Ethernet
ConnectX-2 EN delivers the features needed for a converged network with support for Data Center Bridging (DCB). T11 compliant FCoE support with full hardware offloads simplifies the storage network while keeping existing Fibre Channel targets. IBTA RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) technology provides efficient, low latency, RDMA transport over Layer 2 Ethernet. The RoCE software stack maintains existing and future compatibility with bandwidth and latency sensitive applications. By maintaining link-level interoperability with existing Ethernet networks, IT managers can leverage existing data center fabric management solutions.

I/O Virtualization
ConnectX-2 EN supports hardware-based I/O virtualization, providing dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines (VM) within the server. ConnectX-2 EN gives data center managers better server utilization and LAN and SAN unification while reducing costs, power, and complexity
