Specifications

Manufacturer	NVIDIA Corporation
Manufacturer Part Number	MCX613105A-VDAT
Manufacturer Website Address	http://www.nvidia.com
Brand Name	Mellanox
Product Line	ConnectX-6 EN
Product Name	ConnectX-6-EN 200Gigabit Ethernet Card
Marketing Information	World's first 200GbE Ethernet network adapter card, offering industry-leading performance, smart offloads and In-Network Computing, leading to the highest return on investment for Cloud, Web 2.0, Big Data, Storage and Machine Learning applications ConnectX-6 EN provides two ports of 200GbE for Ethernet connectivity, sub 0.8usec latency and 215 million messages per second, enabling the highest performance and most flexible solution for the most demanding data center applications. ConnectX-6 is a groundbreaking addition to the Mellanox ConnectX series of industry-leading adapter cards. In addition to all the existing innovative features of past versions, ConnectX-6 offers a number of enhancements to further improve performance and scalability. ConnectX-6 EN supports 200, 100, 50, 40, 25, and 10GbE Ethernet speeds. ConnectX-6 adapter cards offer the next gen SFP-DD modules for the lower speed rates (50GGbE/100GbE), enabling double the SFP bandwidth and supporting fast line rates while maintaining SFP backwards compatibility. CLOUD AND WEB2.0 ENVIRONMENTS Telco, Cloud and Web2.0 customers developing their platforms on Software Defined Network (SDN) environments are leveraging the Virtual Switching capabilities of the Operating Systems on their servers to enable maximum flexibility in the management and routing protocols of their networks. Open V-Switch (OVS) is an example of a virtual switch that allows Virtual Machines to communicate among themselves and with the outside world. Software-based virtual switches, traditionally residing in the hypervisor, are CPU intensive, affecting system performance and preventing full utilization of available CPU for compute functions. To address this, ConnectX-6 offers Mellanox Accelerated Switching And Packet Processing (ASAP2 ) ® Direct technology to offload the vSwitch/vRouter by handling the data plane in the NIC hardware while maintaining the control plane unmodified. As a result, significantly higher vSwitch/vRouter performance is achieved without the associated CPU load. The vSwitch/vRouter offload functions supported by ConnectX-5 and ConnectX-6 include encapsulation and de-capsulation of overlay network headers, as well as stateless offloads of inner packets, packet headers re-write (enabling NAT functionality), hairpin, and more. In addition, ConnectX-6 offers intelligent flexible pipeline capabilities, including programmable flexible parser and flexible match-action tables, which enable hardware offloads for future protocols. STORAGE ENVIRONMENTS NVMe storage devices are gaining momentum, offering very fast access to storage media. The evolving NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF) protocol leverages RDMA connectivity to remotely access NVMe storage devices efficiently, while keeping the end-to-end NVMe model at lowest latency. With its NVMe-oF target and initiator offloads, ConnectX-6 brings further optimization to NVMe-oF, enhancing CPU utilization and scalability. SECURITY ConnectX-6 block-level encryption offers a critical innovation to network security. As data in transit is stored or retrieved, it undergoes encryption and decryption. The ConnectX-6 hardware offloads the IEEE AES-XTS encryption/decryption from the CPU, saving latency and CPU utilization. It also guarantees protection for users sharing the same resources through the use of dedicated encryption keys.
