NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx EN 25GbE Dual-port SFP28 Adapter Card with Cooling – (900-9X663-0083-SQ0)

ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNIC is the industry’s most secure and advanced cloud network interface card to accelerate mission-critical data-centre applications, such as security, virtualisation, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. The SmartNIC provides two 25GbE ports for ethernet connectivity. ConnectX-6 Dx is a member of NVIDIA's world-class, award-winning ConnectX series of network adapters powered by leading 50Gb/s (PAM4) and 25/10Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology, with novel capabilities that accelerate cloud and data-centre payloads.

ConnectX-6 Dx features virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) hardware accelerations delivering orders-of-magnitude higher performance than software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx supports a choice of single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) and VirtIO in hardware, enabling customers to best address their application needs. By offloading cloud networking workloads, ConnectX-6 Dx frees up CPU cores for business applications while reducing total cost-of-ownership. In an era where data privacy is key, ConnectX-6 Dx provides built-in inline encryption/decryption, stateful packet filtering and other capabilities, bringing advanced security down to every node with unprecedented performance and scalability. For data storage, ConnectX-6 Dx optimises a suite of storage accelerations, bringing NVMe-oF target and initiator offloads.

RoCE Solutions

ConnectX-6 Dx delivers several innovations including programmable congestion control and selective repeat and zero-touch RoCE, enabling scalable, robust and easy-to-deploy RoCE solutions.

Network Virtualisation

The ConnectX-6 Dx groundbreaking ASAP technology delivers innovative SR-IOV and VirtIO acceleration, offloading Open vSwitch data path forwarding from the host’s CPU to the adapter’s ASIC, and enabling extreme performance and scalability.

Data Centre Security

ConnectX-6 Dx brings security to every end-point with its purpose-built inline acceleration engines that offload IPsec and TLS data-in-motion and XTS-AES data-at-rest cryptographic operations.
