Please READ the entire description and LOOK at all of the provided photographs before making your purchase! TheseIBM Options 00D9550 IBM Mellanox CoonectX 3 FDR VPI IB/E Adapter for System X are NEW and come in factory sealed packaging (except for the one I opened for photographs).Mellanox ConnectX-3 FDR VPI IB/E Adapter for IBM System x (00D9550)High-performance computing (HPC) solutions require high-bandwidth, low-latency components with CPU offloads to get the highest server efficiency and application productivity. The Mellanox ConnectX-3 FDR VPI IB/E and Dual Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet InfiniBand adapters for IBM system x deliver the I/O performance that meets these requirements.

InfiniBand ConnectX-3 delivers low latency, high bandwidth, and computing efficiency for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications. Efficient computing is achieved by offloading from the CPU routine activities, which makes more processor power available for the application. Network protocol processing and data movement impacts, such as InfiniBand RDMA and Send/Receive semantics, are completed in the adapter without CPU intervention. The ConnectX-3 advanced acceleration technology enables higher cluster efficiency and scalability of up to tens of thousands of nodes.ConnectX-3 with Virtual Intelligent Queuing (Virtual-IQ) technology provides dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for virtual machines within the server. I/O virtualization with ConnectX-3 gives data center managers better server utilization and LAN and SAN unification while reducing cost, power, and cable complexity.Mellanox delivers some of the industry's most robust end-to-end InfiniBand and Ethernet portfolios. Their mature, field-proven product offerings include solutions for I/O, switching, and advanced management software, making them a partner that can satisfy many of your high-performance computing and data center connectivity needs.
