ConnectX-6 Dx EN adapter card, 50GbE OCP3.0, With Host management , Dual-port SFP56, PCIe 4.0 x16, Crypto and Secure Boot, Thumbscrew (Pull Tab) Bracket
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Dx is a highly secure and advanced smart network interface card (SmartNIC) to accelerate mission-critical data center applications, such as security, virtualization, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. It provides up to two ports of 100Gb/s or a single-port of 200Gb/s Ethernet connectivity and the highest ROI of any SmartNIC.
ConnectX-6 Dx is powered by leading 50Gb/s (PAM4) and 25/10 Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology and novel capabilities that accelerate cloud and data center payloads.
ZERO-TRUST SECURITY
In an era where data privacy is key, ConnectX-6 Dx adapters offer advanced, built-in capabilities that bring security down to the endpoints with unprecedented performance and scalability:
- Crypto—IPsec and TLS data-in-motion inline encryption and decryption offload, and AES-XTS block-level, data-at-rest encryption and decryption offloads
- Probes and denial-of-service (DoS) attack 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
- NIC security—Hardware root-of-trust (RoT) secure boot and secure firmware update using RSA cryptography, and cloning protection, via a device-unique secret key
ADVANCED VIRTUALIZATION
ConnectX-6 Dx enables building highly efficient virtualized cloud data centers:
- Virtualization—ASAP2 delivers virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) hardware offloads at orders-of-magnitude higher performance than software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx ASAP2 offers both SR-IOV and VirtIO in-hardware offload capabilities and supports up to 8 million rules.
- Advanced quality of service (QoS)—ConnectX-6 Dx includes traffic shaping and classification-based data policing
