ConnectX SmartNICs Deliver Unparalleled Performance and Efficiency
RDMA Technology Empowers EDC and HPC
RDMA allows real CPU offloads and kernel bypass, and, as such, RDMA-based applications provide better utilization of network HW resources while increasing speed and lowering link latencies.
Intelligent Offloads Capabilities for the Most Demanding Applications
NVIDIA® Mellanox® Ethernet adapter cards offer advanced hardware offloads to reduce CPU resource consumption and drive extremely high packet rates and throughput.
Application Server Compatibility
Mellanox Ethernet adapter cards are tested to ensure that support all of the mainstream devices on the market, such as Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Cisco servers, etc.
Supporting All Major OS Distributions
Mellanox NICs are tested to support all of the mainstream OSes on the market, such as Windows, RHEL/CentOS, Vmware, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.
Centralized All-active VXLAN Gateway
The centralized all-active VXLAN gateway can let switches forward traffic simultaneously, which improves device resource usage and convergence performance.

I purchased this network card for my Dell PowerEdge R710 running oVirt Engine so I could take advantage of the Virtual Functions for the host network.
Install was straightforward and the card was detected without any issues.
I bought another server that has the 4 port version of this card and on a clean oVirt install this was able to add these settings when adding the host without having to modify the GRUB config.
