Designed primarily for data centers, cloud applications, and other high-bandwidth workloads, the NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx Dual-Port 25G SFP28 Network Interface Card enhances your compatible HP server or workstation with fast and reliable fiber connectivity. Installing this network interface card into an available PCIe 4.0 x8 expansion slot provides two SFP28 slots, each of which supports up to 25 Gb/s speeds. A single port connection can reach up to 50 Gb/s.
NVIDIA Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing (ASAP2) technology provides accelerated performance by offloading the software-defined networking (SDN) data plane to the NIC. Full-height and low-profile brackets are included.
The ConnectX-6 Lx ASAP2 rich feature set accelerates public and on-premises enterprise clouds and boosts the transition of cloud service providers (CSPs) to network function virtualization (NFV). ASAP2 supports these CSPs by enabling packet encapsulations, such as multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP), alongside cloud encapsulations, such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE), and others.
