IBM BladeCenter at-a-glance guide
The Mellanox 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh) for IBM® BladeCenter® delivers the
industry's lowest latency performance of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with stateless offloads for
converged fabrics in enterprise data centers, high-performance computing, and embedded environments.
Financial services, cluster databases, web infrastructure, and cloud computing 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. The adapter is based on Mellanox
ConnectX-2 EN technology, which improves network performance by increasing available bandwidth to
the CPU, especially in virtualized server environments.

Did you know
New enhancements such as Data Center Ethernet (DCE) are being added to Ethernet for better I/O
consolidations. The InfiniBand Trade Association's (IBTA) RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)
technology provides efficient low-latency RDMA transport over Layer 2 Ethernet. The RoE software stack
maintains existing and future application compatibility for bandwidth and latency-sensitive clustering
applications. With link-level interoperability in existing Ethernet infrastructure, network administrators can
leverage existing data center fabric management solutions with this adapter.
