Connectx-5 Vpi Socket Direct Edr 100GB / S

Intelligent RDMA-enabled network adapter card with advanced application offload capabilities supporting 100Gb/s for servers without x16 PCIe slots

ConnectX-5 Socket Direct with Virtual Protocol Interconnect® supports two ports of 100Gb/s InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity, very low latency, and very high message rate, OVS and NVMe over Fabric offloads, providing the highest performance and most flexible solution for the most demanding applications and markets: Machine Learning, Data Analytics, and more.

ConnectX-5 Socket Direct provides 100Gb/s port speed even to servers without x16 PCIe slots by splitting the 16-lane PCIe bus into two 8-lane buses, one of which is accessible through a PCIe x8 edge connector and the other through a parallel x8 Auxiliary PCIe Connection Card, connected by a dedicated harness.
