Mellanox Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) Adapter Cards

Mellanox ConnectX and ConnectX-2 adapter cards with Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) provide the highest performing and most flexible interconnect solution for Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing, and Embedded environments. Clustered data bases, parallelized applications, transactional services and high-performance embedded I/O applications will achieve significant performance improvements resulting in reduced completion time and lower cost per operation. ConnectX with VPI also simplifies network deployment by consolidating cables and enhancing performance in virtualized server environments.

VPI-enabled adapters make it possible for any standard networking, clustering, storage, and management protocol to seamlessly operate over any converged network leveraging a consolidated software stack. With auto-sense capability, each ConnectX and ConnectX-2 port can identify and operate on InfiniBand, Ethernet, or Data Center Ethernet (DCE) fabrics. ConnectX with VPI simplifies I/O system design and makes it easier for IT managers to deploy infrastructure that meets the challenges of a dynamic data center.
