Description
NVIDIA ConnectX-6 DX 100Gigabit Ethernet Card – PCI Express 4.0 x16 – 2 Port(s) – Optical Fiber – OCP 2.0 Bracket Height – 100GBase-X – QSFP56 – Plug-in Card 100GBE OCP2.0 W/ HOST MGMT TYPE 2 S
NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Dx is a highly secure and advanced smart network interface card (SmartNIC) to accelerate mission-critical data center applications
such as security
virtualization
SDN/NFV
big data
machine learning
and storage. It provides up to two ports of 100Gb/s or a single-port of 200Gb/s Ethernet connectivity and the highest ROI of any SmartNIC.
ConnectX-6 Dx is powered by leading 50Gb/s (PAM4) and 25/10 Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology and novel capabilities that accelerate cloud and data center payloads.
ZERO-TRUST SECURITY
In an era where data privacy is key
ConnectX-6 Dx adapters offer advanced
built-in capabilities that bring security down to the endpoints with unprecedented performance and scalability:
- Crypto-IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption and decryption offload
and AES-XTS block-level
data-at-rest encryption and decryption offloads - Probes and denial-of-service (DoS) attack protection-ConnectX-6 Dx enables a hardware-based L4 firewall by offloading stateful connection tracking through NVIDIA ASAP2 – Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing® offload technology
- NIC security-Hardware root-of-trust (RoT) secure boot and secure firmware update using RSA cryptography
and cloning protection
via a device-unique secret key
ADVANCED VIRTUALIZATION
ConnectX-6 Dx enables building highly efficient virtualized cloud data centers:
- Virtualization-ASAP2 delivers virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) hardware offloads at orders-of-magnitude higher performance than software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx ASAP2 offers both SR-IOV and VirtIO in-hardware offload capabilities and supports up to 8 million rules.
- Advanced quality of service (QoS)-ConnectX-6 Dx includes traffic shaping and classification-based data policing
INDUSTRY-LEADING ROCE
With industry-leading capabilities
ConnectX-6 Dx delivers more scalable
resilient
and easy-to-deploy remote direct-memory access over converged Ethernet (RoCE) solutions.
- Zero Touch RoCE (ZTR)-Simplifying RoCE deployments
ConnectX-6 Dx with ZTR allows RoCE payloads to run seamlessly on existing networks without special configuration
either to priority flow control (PFC) or explicit congestion notification (ECN). ConnectX-6 Dx ensures the resilience
efficiency
and scalability of deployments. - Programmable congestion control-ConnectX-6 Dx includes an API for building userdefined congestion control algorithms for various environments running RoCE and background TCP/IP traffic concurrently.
