ConnectX®-6 Dx is a highly secure and advanced smart network interface card (SmartNIC) to accelerate mission-critical data center applications, such as security, virtualization, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. It provides up to two ports of 100Gb/s Ethernet connectivity and the highest ROI of any SmartNIC.
Advanced Virtualization
ConnectX-6 Dx enables building highly efficient virtualized cloud data centers:
- Virtualization ASAP2 delivers virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) hardware offloads at orders-of-magnitude higher performance than software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx ASAP2 offers both SR-IOV and VirtIO in-hardware offload capabilities and supports up to 8 million rules.
- Advanced quality of service (QoS)-ConnectX-6 Dx includes traffic shaping and classification-based data policing
Industry-Leading Roce
With industry-leading capabilities, ConnectX-6 Dx delivers more scalable, resilient, and easy-to-deploy remote direct-memory access over converged Ethernet (RoCE) solutions.
- Zero Touch RoCE (ZTR): Simplifying RoCE deployments, ConnectX-6 Dx with ZTR allows RoCE payloads to run seamlessly on existing networks without special configuration, either to priority flow control (PFC) or explicit congestion notification (ECN). ConnectX-6 Dx ensures the resilience, efficiency, and scalability of deployments.
- programmable congestion control: ConnectX-6 Dx includes an API for building user-defined congestion control algorithms for various environments running RoCE and background TCP/IP traffic concurrently.
Best-in-Class PTP for Time-Sensitive Applications
ConnectX-6 Dx incorporates an integrated PTP hardware clock (PHC) that allows the device to achieve sub-20 nanosecond (nsec) accuracy while offering timing-related functions, including time-triggered scheduling or time-based, software-defined networking (SDN) accelerations (time-based ASAP). 5T for 5G technology also enables software applications to transmit front-haul radio area network (RAN)-compatible data in high bandwidth. The PTP solution supports slave clock, master clock, and boundary clock operations. ConnectX-6 Dx also supports SyncE, allowing selected ConnectX-6 Dx SmartNICs to provide PPS-Out or PPS-In signals from designated SMA connectors.
Efficient Storage Solutions
With its NVMe-oF target and initiator offloads, ConnectX-6 Dx brings further optimization, enhancing CPU utilization and scalability. Additionally, ConnectX-6 Dx supports hardware offload for ingress and egress of T10-DIF/PI/CRC32/CRC64 signatures and AES-XTS encryption and decryption offloads, enabling user-based key management and a one-time Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) certification approach.
