Product Overview
A network adapter is a hardware device that allows computers to communicate with each other through a network. MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 is a network adapter that is designed to provide high-speed connectivity in data center and cloud environments. In this article, we will discuss in detail the features, specifications, and benefits of MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 10 Gigabit LAN Ethernet Network Adapter.
Features of MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3
- High-speed connectivity The MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 is designed to provide high-speed connectivity with a data transfer rate of up to 10Gbps. This makes it ideal for data centers and cloud environments where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly.
- Dual-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet The MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 has two ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This allows for increased bandwidth and redundancy in case one of the ports fails.
- Low latency The MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 has low latency, which is essential for high-performance computing and real-time applications. It supports both RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol (iWARP) to reduce latency and improve network performance.
- PCI Express 3.0 The MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 uses the PCI Express 3.0 interface to connect to the motherboard. This provides high bandwidth and low latency, which are essential for high-performance computing.
- Virtualization support The MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 supports Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) and Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE). This makes it ideal for virtualized environments where multiple virtual machines need to communicate with each other.
- Advanced network management The MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 supports advanced network management features such as Quality of Service (QoS), traffic shaping, and congestion control. This allows for better control and management of network traffic.
Benefits of MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Network Adapter
The MCX354A-FCBT Mellanox Connectx-3 is a network adapter that provides a range of benefits, including:
- High Speed: The MCX354A-FCBT provides high-speed connectivity of up to 56 Gb/s, which makes it ideal for applications that require fast data transfer rates.
- Low Latency: The adapter provides very low latency, which makes it suitable for real-time applications such as financial trading, scientific research, and multimedia streaming.
- Virtualization: The adapter supports SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) technology, which allows multiple virtual machines to share a single physical adapter, reducing hardware costs and simplifying network management.
- Reliability: The adapter is designed to provide high reliability and availability, with features such as hot-swappable components, redundant power supplies, and support for advanced error correction.
- Flexibility: The adapter supports a range of protocols, including InfiniBand, Ethernet, and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), which makes it suitable for a variety of applications and environments.
- Energy Efficiency: The adapter is designed to be energy-efficient, with features such as dynamic power management and support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards.
