Mellanox 200Gb/s InfiniBand & Ethernet Adapter Card

World’s first 200Gb/s HDR InfiniBand and Ethernet network adapter card, offering industry-leading performance, smart offloads and In-Network Computing, leading to the highest return on investment for High-Performance Computing, Cloud, Web 2.0, Storage and Machine Learning applications

ConnectX-6 Virtual Protocol Interconnect® (VPI) cards are a groundbreaking addition to the Mellanox ConnectX series of industry-leading adapter cards. Providing two ports of 200Gb/s for InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity, sub-600ns latency and 215 million messages per second, ConnectX-6 VPI cards enable the highest performance and most flexible solution aimed at meeting the continually growing demands of data center applications. In addition to all the existing innovative features of past versions, ConnectX-6 cards offer a number of enhancements to further improve performance and scalability.

ConnectX-6 VPI cards supports HDR, HDR100, EDR, FDR, QDR, DDR and SDR InfiniBand speeds as well as 200, 100, 50, 40, 25, and 10 Gb/s Ethernet speeds.

HPC Environments
Over the past decade, Mellanox has consistently driven HPC performance to new record heights. With the introduction of the ConnectX-6 adapter card, Mellanox continues to pave the way with new features and unprecedented performance for the HPC market.

ConnectX-6 VPI delivers the highest throughput and message rate in the industry. As the first adapter to deliver 200Gb/s HDR InfiniBand, 100Gb/s HDR100 InfiniBand and 200Gb/s Ethernet speeds, ConnectX-6 VPI is the perfect product to lead HPC data centers toward Exascale levels of performance and scalability.

ConnectX-6 supports the evolving co-design paradigm, which transforms the network into a distributed processor. With its In-Network Computing and In-Network Memory capabilities, ConnectX-6 offloads computation even further to the network, saving CPU cycles and increasing network efficiency.

ConnectX-6 VPI utilizes both IBTA RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) and RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) technologies, delivering low-latency and high performance. ConnectX-6 enhances RDMA network capabilities even further by delivering end-to-end packet level flow control.
