NVIDIA ConnectX-4 Lx EN - Network adapter - PCIe 3.0 x8 - 25 Gigabit Ethernet x 1

With increasing workloads, data centers are turning to virtualization strategies to enhance utilization and looking for ways to tackle and data analytic and access to storage. The NVIDIA Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx offers a cost effective solution for delivering the performance, flexibility, and scalability needed to make infrastructure run as efficiently as possible for a variety of demanding markets and applications.

• Hardware-based I/O virtualization
• Multi-host technology
• Connectivity to 4 independent hosts
• Low latency RDMA over converged Ethernet
• CPU offloading of transport operations

• Multi-host technology
  Innovative NVIDIA multi-most technology enables data centers to design and build scale-out heterogeneous compute and storage racks, with direct connectivity between compute elements and the network.
• Overlay networks
  In order to better scale networks, data center operators create overlay networks to encapsulate traffic from individual virtual machines over logical tunnels such as NVGRE and VXLAN. This solves network scalability issues, but places higher loads on the CPU. ConnectX-4 Lx offloads overlay networks from the CPU.
• RDMA over converged Ethernet
  ConnectX-4 Lx supports RoCE specifications delivering low-latency and high- performance over Ethernet networks. RoCE provides efficient low-latency RDMA services over layer 2 and layer 3 networks.
