This is a genuine IBM Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI Dual-Port Adapter Card (P/N: 98Y8995). This high-performance adapter is engineered to provide an extremely powerful and flexible interconnect solution for IBM System x servers. Its key feature is Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI), which allows each of the two ports to operate as either an FDR InfiniBand port or a 40GbE Ethernet port, offering unparalleled flexibility and a clear upgrade path for diverse data center workloads.
Key Features
-
Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI): The dual QSFP+ ports can be independently configured to run either FDR InfiniBand (56Gb/s) for the lowest latency or 40GbE Ethernet for broad data center compatibility, providing a versatile, future-proof solution.
-
Dual-Port High Throughput: Delivers up to 56Gb/s of bandwidth per port, making it ideal for the most data-intensive applications, high-performance computing, and enterprise storage.
-
RDMA Performance: Supports advanced offload engines, including RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and InfiniBand, to reduce CPU overhead and significantly improve system efficiency.
-
IBM Certified: As a genuine IBM part, it ensures "plug and play" compatibility and validated performance in a wide range of System x servers.
