Description
Designed for dual-slot servers with support for both 200G Ethernet and InfiniBand NDR200 protocols, the NVIDIA ConnectX-7 2-Port 200G QSFP112 PCIe 5.0 x16 Adapter delivers high performance and security for cloud applications, artificial intelligence, and other enterprise workloads. Installing this socket direct ready, low-profile, Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) adapter into an available PCIe 5.0 x16 slot provides you with two QSFP112 ports, each capable of supporting up to 200 Gb/s fiber links. Advanced features such as ASAP2 technology and secure boot with RoCE and GPUDirect storage support deliver optimized performance. The ConnectX-7 is designed to work with Windows and Linux devices. Please note that the socket direct ready card kit does not include the PCIe passive auxiliary connection card and two Cabline SA-II Plus harnesses.Accelerate Software-Defined Networking NVIDIA ASAP2 (Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing) technology accelerates software-defined networking, delivering line-rate performance with no CPU penalty.Virtual Protocol Interconnect The Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) architecture provides a high performance, low latency and reliable means for communication among network adapters and switches supporting both InfiniBand and Ethernet semantics. A VPI adapter or switch can be set to deliver either InfiniBand or Ethernet semantics per port. This dual-port adapter may be configured for two InfiniBand ports, two Ethernet ports, or one of each at the same time.Enhanced Storage Performance The ConnectX-7 enables high performance and efficient data storage by leveraging RDMA/RoCE, GPUDirect Storage, and hardware-based NVMe-oF offload engines.Precision Timing This adapter provides extremely accurate time synchronization for data-center applications and timing-sensitive infrastructures.
