Overview
Mellanox ConnectX EN 10 Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) delivers high-bandwidth
and industry leading 10GigE connectivity
with stateless offloads for performance-driven
server and storage applications in High-Performance
Computing, Enterprise Data Centers,
and Embedded environments. Large clustered
databases, web infrastructure, and IP video
servers are just a few example applications that
will achieve significant throughput improvements
resulting in faster access and increased number
of users per server. ConnectX EN improves
network performance by increasing available
bandwidth while decreasing the associated
transport load on the CPU and providing enhanced
performance, especially in virtualized server
environments. The device is well suited for Blade
Server and LAN on the Motherboard (LOM)
designs due to its small overall footprint requirement.
