Featuring the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 infrastructure with support for both 200G Ethernet and InfiniBand NDR200 protocols, the NVIDIA ConnectX-7 2-Port 200G QSFP112 PCIe 5.0 x16 OCP 3.0 Adapter delivers high performance and security for cloud applications, artificial intelligence, and other enterprise workloads.
Installing this Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) adapter into an available PCIe 5.0 x16 interface through an edge connector 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.
Open Compute Project
Founded by Facebook in 2011, the Open Compute Project, provides specifications for building energy-efficient and scalable high-performance Web 2.0 data centers. The results of these efforts are next-generation computing infrastructures designed and built from the ground up that are up to 24% less expensive and 38% more energy-efficient than traditional data centers. The ConnectX-7 adapter helps to address the demanding needs of newer data centers by providing an Open Composable Network for an end-to-end network fabric, with unmatched features for open architecture and proven, reliable performance.
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.
