NVIDIA ConnectX-6 DX Ethernet SmartNIC
Advanced Networking and Security for the Most Demanding Cloud and Data Center Workloads
ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNIC is the industry's most secure and advanced cloud network interface card to accelerate mission-critical data-center applications, such as security, virtualization, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. The SmartNIC delivers the highest return on investment (ROI) of any smart network interface card.
ConnectX-6 Dx is a member of NVIDIA's world-class, award-winning ConnectX series of network adapters powered by leading 50 Gb/s (PAM4) and 25/10 Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology and novel capabilities that accelerate cloud and data-center payloads.
• Up to 50 Gb/s bandwidth
• Message rate of up to 215 Mpps
• Sub 0.8 usec latency
• Flexible programmable pipeline for new network flows
• Multi-Host with advanced QoS
• ASAP2 - Accelerated Switching and Packet Processing for virtual switches/routers
• Overlay tunneling technologies
• IPsec and TLS in-line crypto acceleration
• Block crypto acceleration for data-at-rest
• Hardware Root-of-Trust and secure firmware update
• Connection Tracking offload
• Advanced RoCE capabilities
• Best in class PTP for TSN applications
• GPUDirect for GPU-to-GPU communication
• Host chaining technology for economical rack design
• Platform agnostic: x86, Power, Arm
• ODCC compatible
ConnectX®-6 Dx is a highly secure and advanced smart network interface card (SmartNIC) that accelerates mission-critical cloud and data center applications, including security, virtualization, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. ConnectX-6 Dx provides up to two ports of 100Gb/s or a single port of 200Gb/s Ethernet connectivity and is powered by 50Gb/s (PAM4) or 25/10 Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology.
ConnectX-6 Dx features virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) hardware accelerations delivering orders-of-magnitude higher performance than softwarebased solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx supports a choice of single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) and VirtIO in hardware, enabling customers to best address their application needs. By offloading cloud networking workloads, ConnectX-6 Dx frees up CPU cores for business applications while reducing total cost-of-ownership.
