– Provides high-bandwidth and industry-leading Ethernet connectivity for performance-driven server and storage applications in Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing, and Embedded environments.
– Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and high frequency trading are just a few applications that will achieve significant throughput and latency improvements.
– ConnectX-3 EN improves network performance by increasing available bandwidth while decreasing the associated transport load on the CPU especially in virtualized server environments.
