ConnectX-6 Dx EN adapter card, 25GbE OCP3.0, With Host management, Dual-port SFP28, PCIe 4.0 x16, Crypto and Secure Boot, Thumbscrew (Pull Tab) Bracket
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Dx is an advanced and highly secure smart network interface card (SmartNIC) designed to accelerate mission-critical applications within data centers. It excels in boosting performance for various tasks, including security, virtualization, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. The SmartNIC offers the highest Return on Investment (ROI) among its peers.
Powered by cutting-edge 50Gb/s (PAM4) and 25/10 Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology, the ConnectX-6 Dx comes equipped with novel capabilities that significantly accelerate cloud and data center payloads.
ZERO-TRUST SECURITY
In an era where data privacy is paramount, ConnectX-6 Dx adapters come with advanced built-in features that prioritize security at the endpoints, delivering unparalleled performance and scalability:
Crypto: Offloads IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption and decryption, along with AES-XTS block-level data-at-rest encryption and decryption.
- Probes and DoS Protection: ConnectX-6 Dx enables a hardware-based L4 firewall by offloading stateful connection tracking through NVIDIA ASAP2 – Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing® offload technology, effectively protecting against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
- NIC Security: Provides hardware root-of-trust (RoT) secure boot and secure firmware update using RSA cryptography. It also includes cloning protection via a device-unique secret key.
ADVANCED VIRTUALIZATION
ConnectX-6 Dx empowers the creation of highly efficient virtualized cloud data centers with the following features:
- Virtualization: ASAP2 delivers hardware offloads for virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) at significantly higher performance levels than software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx ASAP2 supports both SR-IOV and VirtIO in-hardware offload capabilities and can handle up to 8 million rules.
- Advanced Quality of Service (QoS): Includes traffic shaping and classification-based data policing, optimizing data management.
