Introduction

Advanced Networking and Security for the Most Demanding Cloud and Data Center Workloads

NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Dx is a highly secure and advanced smart network interface card (SmartNIC) that accelerates mission-critical cloud and data center applications, including security, virtualization, SDN/NFV, big data, machine learning, and storage. ConnectX-6 Dx provides up to two ports of 100Gb/s or a single port of 200Gb/s Ethernet connectivity and is powered by 50Gb/s (PAM4) or 25/10 Gb/s (NRZ) SerDes technology.

ConnectX-6 Dx features virtual switch (vSwitch) and virtual router (vRouter) hardware accelerations delivering orders-of-magnitude higher performance than software-based solutions. ConnectX-6 Dx supports a choice of single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) and VirtIO in hardware, enabling customers to best address their application needs. By offloading cloud networking workloads, ConnectX-6 Dx frees up CPU cores for business applications while reducing total cost-of-ownership.
