Product Description
The IBM 95Y3457, based on Mellanox's ConnectX-3 technology, is a versatile Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) adapter designed to provide high-performance networking for servers. VPI technology allows the adapter to operate seamlessly in either Ethernet or InfiniBand mode, offering flexibility for various high-performance computing (HPC), data center, and enterprise environments. The dual QSFP ports enable high-density connectivity, supporting speeds of up to 40Gb/s per port, which is crucial for bandwidth-intensive applications. This adapter is engineered for applications that demand low latency and high throughput, such as large-scale cluster computing, financial trading platforms, big data analytics, and high-performance storage solutions. By supporting both Ethernet and InfiniBand, it simplifies network infrastructure by allowing a single adapter to handle different types of traffic, reducing the need for multiple specialized cards. The PCIe 3.0 interface ensures a high-bandwidth connection to the host system, maximizing the adapter's performance potential. The ConnectX-3 VPI adapter is a key component for modern data centers and research institutions aiming to achieve maximum efficiency and scalability. Its ability to provide unified fabric connectivity for both storage and compute traffic makes it an ideal choice for converged network infrastructures. The 95Y3457 offers robust performance, advanced features, and the flexibility to adapt to evolving network requirements.
