The Flex System EN6132 2-port 40Gb Ethernet Adapter and Mellanox ConnectX-3 Mezz 40Gb 2-Port Ethernet Adapter in conjunction with the EN6131 40Gb Ethernet Switch offer the performance that you need to support clustered databases, parallel processing, transactional services, and high-performance embedded I/O applications, which reduces task completion time and lowers the cost per operation.The EN6132 and ConnectX-3 adapters can help you achieve efficient computing by offloading protocol processing from the CPU and data movement impact, such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet and Send/Receive semantics, which allows more processor power for the application.Did you know?The 40 Gb Ethernet solution that is offered by Flex System can deploy more workloads per server without running into I/O bottlenecks. If there are failures or server maintenance, clients can move their virtual machines much faster by using 40 Gb interconnects within the chassis. The 40 GbE switch and adapter are designed for low latency, high bandwidth, and computing efficiency for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications. They provide extreme scalability for low-latency clustered solutions with reduced packet hops.
