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
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.
