ConnectX NICs
10/25/40/50/100/200 and 400G Ethernet Network Adapters
The industry-leading NVIDIA® ConnectX® family of network interface cards (NICs) offers advanced hardware offloads and accelerations. NVIDIA Ethernet adapters enable the highest ROI and lowest total cost of ownership for hyperscale, public and private clouds, storage, machine learning, AI, big data, and telco platforms.
World-Class Ethernet Performance
ConnectX Ethernet NICs offer best-in-class network performance, serving low-latency, high-throughput applications with one, two, or four ports at 10, 25, 40, 50, 100, 200, and up to 400 gigabits per second (Gb/s) Ethernet speeds.
- ConnectX NICs are powered by NVIDIA ASAP2 Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing™ technology. They accelerate network performance while reducing the CPU overhead of Internet Protocol (IP) packet transport, freeing more processor cycles to run applications.
- With unmatched remote direct-memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) performance, ConnectX NICs deliver efficient, high-performance RDMA services to bandwidth- and latency-sensitive applications.
- ConnectX NICs offload and accelerate encryption/decryption at speeds up to 400Gb/s.
- With industry-leading Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) performance, they deliver more throughput with fewer CPU cycles.
- They enable secure boot of the operating system with in-hardware root of trust.
- With the NVIDIA Multi-Host™ technology, ConnectX NICs enable direct, low-latency data access while significantly improving server density.
- ConnectX NICS are certified in all major operating systems as well as top virtualization and containerization platforms.
