Descrição de produto
NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx 25/50G Ethernet SmartNIC
Model: MCX631102AN-ADAT | Dual-port 25G / Single-port 50G | PCIe 4.0 x8 | Crypto + RoT
Accelerate modern data center workloads with the NVIDIA® ConnectX®-6 Lx Ethernet smart network interface card. The MCX631102AN-ADAT delivers up to 50Gb/s throughput, advanced RoCE with Zero-Touch deployment, SDN data plane offload via ASAP², and inline IPsec encryption. Built with hardware root-of-trust for secure boot and firmware update, this OCP 3.0 SmartNIC brings carrier-grade reliability to enterprise and cloud infrastructure.
Product Overview
The NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Lx series -- model MCX631102AN-ADAT -- is purpose-built for 25GbE and 50GbE connectivity in enterprise data centers, telco NFV, and AI storage fabrics. Featuring PCI Express Gen 4.0 x8 host interface, the adapter supports two ports of 10/25GbE or a single port of 50GbE. Advanced offloads include ASAP² for SDN (VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS, GTP), stateful connection tracking (L4 firewall), and VirtIO acceleration for containerized environments. The hardware-accelerated security engine provides inline IPsec encryption/decryption and secure chain-of-trust, reducing CPU load while fortifying east-west traffic.
Key Features
- Line-rate packet processing: 75 million packets per second (Mpps) at 50Gb/s line rate.
- Zero-Touch RoCE (ZTR): Run RDMA over standard Ethernet without PFC/ECN tuning; simplifies deployment at scale.
- ASAP² acceleration engine: Offloads SDN control/data plane, OVS, overlay tunnels and VNF acceleration.
- Inline IPsec crypto: AES-XTS 256/512-bit encryption/decryption; IPsec over RoCE support.
- Hardware root-of-trust (RoT): Secure boot, cryptographically verified firmware updates, device-unique key protection.
- Connection tracking & firewall: L4 stateful firewall offload, flow mirroring, hierarchical QoS.
- Virtualization ready: SR-IOV (up to 512 virtual functions), VirtIO-net acceleration, overlay offloads.
- Comprehensive manageability: NC-SI, MCTP, PLDM, NCSI over RBT for OCP 3.0 integration.
Advanced Technology & Acceleration
NVIDIA ASAP² (Accelerated Switch and Packet Processing)
Offloads the entire SDN data plane to the SmartNIC, dramatically reducing hypervisor CPU utilization while delivering wire-speed encapsulation/decapsulation for VXLAN, GENEVE, NVGRE, MPLS, and GTP. Ideal for NFV transitions and cloud-native infrastructure.
Industry-leading RoCE with Zero-Touch (ZTR)
ConnectX-6 Lx enables seamless RDMA over Converged Ethernet on existing Layer 2/3 networks. Zero-Touch RoCE eliminates the need for Priority Flow Control (PFC) or Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) configuration, making RoCE deployment as simple as standard Ethernet while maintaining lossless efficiency and resiliency.
Inline Security & Platform Integrity
The on-chip IPsec engine performs encryption/decryption at line rate, freeing host CPU cores. Hardware root-of-trust (RoT) verifies firmware signature during boot and updates, ensuring protection from cloning and supply chain attacks -- essential for finance, government, and edge infrastructure.
Typical Deployments & Use Cases
- Enterprise Data Centers: High-density virtualization, SDN fabric acceleration, low-latency NVMe-oF (RoCE).
- Cloud & Hyperscale: OpenStack, VXLAN offloads, container networking with VirtIO acceleration.
- Telecommunications / NFV / 5G Edge: GTP, MPLS, vEPC offload, user plane function (UPF) acceleration.
- HPC & AI Clusters: RDMA-based MPI and distributed deep learning.
- Secure & Regulated Workloads: Inline IPsec for data-in-motion encryption, hardware root-of-trust compliance.
