With the exponential growth of data being sharedand stored by applications and social networks,the need for high-speed and high performancecompute and storage data centers is skyrocketing.ConnectX-4 provides exceptional high performancefor the most demanding data centers,public and private clouds, Web2.0 and Big Dataapplications, as well as High-PerformanceComputing (HPC) and Storage systems, enablingtodays corporations to meet the demands of thedata explosion.

ConnectX-4 provides an unmatched combinationof 100Gb/s bandwidth in a single port, the lowestavailable latency, and specific hardware offloads,addressing both todays and the next generationscompute and storage data center demands.

Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI)
ConnectX-4 enabled CAPI provides the bestperformance for Power and OpenPower basedplatforms. Such platforms benefit from betterinteraction between the Power CPU and theConnectX-4 adapter, lower latency, higherefficiency of storage access, and better Return onInvestment (ROI), as more applications and moreVirtual Machines run on the platform.

I/O Virtualization
ConnectX-4 SR-IOV technology provides dedicatedadapter resources and guaranteed isolation andprotection for virtual machines (VMs) within theserver. I/O virtualization with ConnectX-4 givesdata center administrators better server utilizationwhile reducing cost, power, and cable complexity,allowing more Virtual Machines and more tenantson the same hardware.
