Target uses

Financial institutions using high frequency trading or data exchange applications that require low 



latency fabrics. This adapter delivers low latency Sockets and RDMA solutions for the ultimate in 
application performance.

Web 2.0 and cloud service providers that need high bandwidth and processor off-loads to get the 



highest productivity from their data centers. 

Data centers deploying virtualized servers with high demands on the I/O infrastructure. With support 



for 10 and up to 127 virtual machines, this adapter can satisfy the bandwidth demands of a virtualized 
environment. 

Features

The IBM Flex System EN4132 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter has the following features:

RDMA over Converged Ethernet 



ConnectX-3 uses IBTA RoCE technology to provide efficient RDMA services, delivering low-latency 

and high-performance to bandwidth and latency sensitive applications. With link-level interoperability 
in existing Ethernet infrastructure, network administrators can use existing data center fabric 
management solutions. 

Sockets acceleration



Applications using TCP/UDP/IP transport can achieve industry-leading throughput over 10 GbE. The 

hardware-based stateless off-load and flow steering engines in ConnectX-3 reduce the processor 
overhead of IP packet transport, freeing more processor cycles to work on the application. Sockets 
acceleration software further increases performance for latency sensitive applications. 

I/O virtualization



ConnectX-3 EN provides dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for 

virtual machines within the server. ConnectX-3 EN gives data center managers better server 
utilization and LAN and SAN unification while reducing costs, power, and complexity.
