ADAPTER CARDS
Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface
Cards (NIC) with PCI Express 3.0 deliver high-bandwidth and industry-
leading Ethernet connectivity for performance-driven server and storage
applications in Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing, and
Embedded environments.

leading Ethernet connectivity for performance-driven server and storage
applications in Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing, and
Embedded environments.
Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and high
frequency trading are just a few applications that
will achieve significant throughput and latency
improvements resulting in faster access, real-time
response and more users per server. ConnectX-3
EN improves network performance by increasing
available bandwidth while decreasing the associ-
ated transport load on the CPU especially in
virtualized server environments.

World-Class Ethernet Performance
RDMA over Converged Ethernet – ConnectX-3
utilizing IBTA RoCE technology provides efficient
RDMA services, delivering low-latency and high-
performance to bandwidth and latency sensitive
applications. With link-level interoperability in
existing Ethernet infrastructure, Network Admin-
istrators can leverage existing data center fabric
management solutions.

Sockets Acceleration – Applications utilizing
TCP/UDP/IP transport can achieve industry-
leading throughput over 10 or 40GbE. The hard-
ware-based stateless offload and flow steering
engines in ConnectX-3 reduce the CPU overhead
of IP packet transport, freeing more processor
cycles to work on the application. Sockets accel-
eration software further increases performance
for latency sensitive applications.

Precision Data Centers – ConnectX-3 EN
IEEE 1588 precision time protocol circuitry
synchronizes the host clock to the data center
master clock for accurate data delivery time
stamping and data center SLA measurements.
The hardware-based mechanisms ensure high
accuracy and low jitter.

Storage Acceleration – A consolidated
compute and storage network achieves significant
cost-performance advantages over multi-fabric
networks. Standard block and file access proto-
cols can leverage RDMA for high-performance
storage access.

Quality of Service – Resource allocation per
application or per VM is provided and protected
by the advanced QoS supported by ConnectX-3
EN. Service levels for multiple traffic types can be
based on IETF DiffServ or IEEE 802.1p/Q allowing
system administrators to prioritize traffic by appli-
cation, virtual machine, or protocol. This powerful
combination of QoS and prioritization provides the
ultimate fine-grained control of traffic – ensuring
that applications run smoothly in today’s complex
environments.
