Mellanox ConnectX-2 EN low power consumption, less than 3.5W per port, provides customers high
bandwidth and low latency at the lowest cost of ownership.
I/O virtualization
ConnectX-2 EN with Virtual Intelligent Queuing (Virtual-IQ) technology provides dedicated adapter
resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines within the server. The adapter
gives data center managers better server utilization and LAN and SAN unification while reducing cost,
power, and cable complexity.
