Fujitsu A3C40150936 ConnectX3 IB 1-Port 40Gb/s QSFP+ HChannel Adapter

Product Description

The Fujitsu A3C40150936, based on the Mellanox ConnectX-3 chipset, is a high-performance 1-Port 40Gb/s InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter (HCA). This adapter is engineered to deliver extremely high bandwidth and very low latency, making it an indispensable component for demanding computing environments such as High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, artificial intelligence (AI) training, and large-scale data analytics. The 40Gb/s speed ensures rapid data transfer between servers and storage or other compute nodes within a network. Featuring a QSFP+ connector, this adapter supports the latest generation of high-density optical transceivers, enabling flexible network configurations. The InfiniBand technology itself is optimized for interconnectivity in parallel processing environments, offering features like Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) that allow network adapters to transfer data directly from the memory of one computer to another without involving the operating system, thereby significantly reducing CPU overhead and latency. This specific Fujitsu-branded adapter provides a robust and reliable solution for building or upgrading high-speed interconnect fabrics. Its capabilities are crucial for applications that require massive data throughput and near-instantaneous communication between nodes to achieve optimal performance. The A3C40150936 is a key enabler for data-intensive workloads that push the boundaries of traditional Ethernet networking.
