Intelligent RDMA-enabled
single and dual-port network adapter with advanced application offload capabilities for Web 2.0
Cloud
Storage
and Telco platforms
ConnectX-5 Ethernet adapter cards provide high performance and flexible solutions with up to two ports of 100GbE connectivity
750ns latency
up to 200 million messages per second (Mpps)
and a recordsetting 197Mpps when running an open source Data Path Development Kit (DPDK) PCIe (Gen 4.0). For storage workloads
ConnectX-5 delivers a range of innovative accelerations
such as Signature Handover (T10-DIF) in hardware
an embedded PCIe Switch
and NVMe over Fabric target offloads. ConnectX-5 adapter cards also bring advanced Open vSwitch offloads to telecommunications and cloud data centers to drive extremely high packet rates and throughput with reduced CPU resource consumption
thus boosting data center infrastructure efficiency.
ConnectX-5 adapter cards are available for PCIe Gen 3.0 and Gen 4.0 servers and provide support for 1

50 and 100 GbE speeds in stand-up PCIe cards
OCP 2.0
and OCP 3.0 form factors. ConnectX-5 cards also offer advanced Mellanox Multi-Host® and Mellanox Socket Direct® technologies.
Cloud and Web 2.0 Environments
ConnectX-5 adapter cards enable data center administrators to benefit from better server utilization and reduced costs
power usage
and cable complexity
allowing for more virtual appliances
virtual machines (VMs) and tenants to co-exist on the same hardware.
Supported vSwitch/vRouter offload functions include:
- Overlay Networks (e.g.
VXLAN
NVGRE
MPLS
GENEVE
and NSH) header encapsulation & decapsulation. - Stateless offloads of inner packets and packet headers’ re-write
enabling NAT functionality and more. - Flexible and programmable parser and match-action tables
which enable hardware offloads for future protocols. - SR-IOV technology
providing dedicated adapter resources
guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines (VMs) within the server. - Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
enabling a VM to be used as a virtual appliance. The full datapath operation offloads
hairpin hardware capability and service chaining enables data to be handled by the virtual appliance
with minimum CPU utilization.
