NVIDIA Mellanox® MCX354A-FCBT alternative ConnectX-3 NIC PCIe 3.0 x8 Dual Port 40GbE QSFP+ FDR IFB

PCIe x8 ConnectX-3 Pro FDR InfiniBand Dual-Port 40/56GbE FDR InfiniBand Adapter Card with Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) supports InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity with a hardware offload engine to the overlay network ("tunnelling"). This is useful in public and private cloud clustered databases, parallel processing, transactional services and high performance embedded I/O applications.

Embedded I/O applications will realize significant performance improvements, resulting in the most flexible interconnect solution that reduces completion time and cost per operation. ConnectX-3 Pro improves network performance by increasing available bandwidth while decreasing the associated transport load on the CPU especially in virtualized server environments.
