ConnectX®-6 Dx EN adapter card, 100GbE, OCP3.0, With Host management , Single-port QSFP56, Multi Host or Socket Direct,PCIe 4.0 x16, No Crypto, Thumbscrew (Pull Tab) Bracket
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Dx stands as an advanced and highly secure smart network interface card (SmartNIC) meticulously crafted to accelerate mission-critical data center applications. These applications encompass security, virtualization, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. The ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNIC exhibits extraordinary capabilities, offering up to two ports of 100Gb/s or a single port of 200Gb/s Ethernet connectivity. It boasts the highest Return on Investment (ROI) compared to other SmartNIC options.
Powered by top-of-the-line 50Gb/s (PAM4) and 25/10 Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology, the ConnectX-6 Dx is equipped with innovative features that effectively accelerate cloud and data center workloads.
ZERO-TRUST SECURITY
In an era where data privacy is of utmost importance, ConnectX-6 Dx adapters incorporate advanced built-in features, prioritizing security at the endpoints with unprecedented performance and scalability:
- Crypto: Enables IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption and decryption offload, alongside AES-XTS block-level data-at-rest encryption and decryption offloads.
- Probes and DoS Protection: By offloading stateful connection tracking through NVIDIA ASAP2 – Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing® offload technology, ConnectX-6 Dx effectively enables a hardware-based L4 firewall, providing robust protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
- NIC Security: Implements hardware root-of-trust (RoT) secure boot and secure firmware update using RSA cryptography. Additionally, it ensures cloning protection via a device-unique secret key.
ADVANCED VIRTUALIZATION
ConnectX-6 Dx paves the way for the construction of highly efficient virtualized cloud data centers, thanks to the following features:
- Virtualization: ASAP2 delivers virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) hardware offloads at orders-of-magnitude higher performance levels than software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx ASAP2 supports both SR-IOV and VirtIO in-hardware offload capabilities, accommodating up to 8 million rules.
- Advanced Quality of Service (QoS): Incorporates traffic shaping and classification-based data policing, optimizing data management.
