ConnectX®-3 Pro Single/Dual-Port Adapter with Virtual Protocol Interconnect®
ConnectX-3 Pro adapter cards with Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI),
supporting InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity with hardware offload engines
to Overlay Networks ("Tunneling"), provide the highest performing and most
flexible interconnect solution for PCI Express Gen3 servers used in public and
private clouds, enterprise data centers, and high performance computing.
Public and private cloud clustered databases,
parallel processing, transactional services, and
high-performance embedded I/O applications will
achieve significant performance improvements
resulting in reduced completion time and lower
cost per operation. ConnectX-3 Pro with VPI also
simplifies system development by serving multiple
fabrics with one hardware design.
The Open Compute Project (OCP) mission is to develop and specify the most cost-efficient, energy-efficient and scalable enterprise and Web 2.0 data centers. Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro VPI adapter card delivers leading InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity for performance-driven server and storage applications in Web 2.0, Enterprise Data Centers and Cloud environments. The OCP Mezzanine adapter form factor is designed to mate into OCP servers.
