Dell T3CYH ConnectX-4 CX4421A 2P 25GbE Daughter Card

Product Description

The Dell T3CYH, featuring the Mellanox ConnectX-4 CX4421A controller, is a high-performance dual-port 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE) network daughter card. This adapter is engineered to deliver exceptional throughput and low latency, making it an ideal solution for data-intensive applications and environments that require significant network bandwidth. The 25GbE SFP28 ports provide a substantial upgrade over traditional 10GbE solutions, enabling faster data transfers and improved application responsiveness. Designed for integration into Dell servers and other compatible systems via its PCIe Gen3 x8 interface, the T3CYH card supports advanced networking technologies. This includes Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), which allows for efficient data transfer directly between the memory of different servers, bypassing the CPU and operating system kernel. This capability is crucial for high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high-speed storage solutions where minimizing latency and maximizing bandwidth are paramount. The ConnectX-4 architecture is known for its robust performance and efficiency, offering features such as hardware offloads for network protocols, which reduce CPU utilization and free up system resources for application processing. The dual-port design provides redundancy and increased bandwidth capacity, allowing for flexible network configurations and improved fault tolerance. The Dell T3CYH daughter card is a key component for modernizing data center infrastructure and supporting the growing demands of cloud computing and big data analytics.
