NVIDIA today launched the NVIDIA® Mellanox ConnectX®-6 Lx
SmartNIC — a highly secure and efficient 25/50 gigabit per
second (Gb/s) Ethernet smart network interface controller
(SmartNIC) — to meet surging growth in enterprise and cloud
scale-out workloads.
ConnectX-6 Lx, the 11th generation product in the ConnectX
family, is designed to meet the needs of modern data centers, where
25Gb/s connections are becoming standard for handling demanding
workflows, such as enterprise applications, AI and real-time
analytics.
The new SmartNIC extends accelerated computing by leveraging
software-defined, hardware-accelerated engines to offload more
security and network processing from CPUs.
“Modern cloud and enterprise data centers rely on accelerated
networking to address their scalability and compute challenges,”
said Amit Krig, senior vice president of software and NIC products
in NVIDIA’s Mellanox networking business. “ConnectX-6 Lx SmartNIC
delivers cost-effective, accelerated and secure networking for the
new era of disaggregated, composable data centers.”
Advanced Security Accelerated security features
such as IPsec in-line cryptography and Hardware Root of Trust, and
a 10x performance improvement for Connection Tracking, enable Zero
Trust security throughout the data center. Best-in-class RDMA over
converged Ethernet (RoCE), advanced virtualization and
containerization, and NVMe over Fabrics storage offloads provide
highly scalable and performant networking.
“The server industry is rapidly transitioning from 10GbE to
25GbE network speeds with very fast growth expected. With
increasing requirements being placed on the network, more offloads
need to be performed on SmartNICs,” said Scott Raynovich, founder
and chief technologist of Futuriom, a technology research firm.
“NVIDIA’s Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx enables SmartNIC offloads,
including advanced switching and security, in a cost-efficient
25/50GbE solution.”
Key FeaturesThe Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx
provides:
- Two ports of 25Gb/s, or a single port of 50Gb/s, Ethernet
connectivity with PCIe Gen 3.0/4.0 x8 host connectivity
- Security features including Hardware Root of Trust, Connection
Tracking for stateful L4 firewalls, and in-line IPSec cryptography
acceleration
- GPUDirect® RDMA acceleration for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF)
storage, scale-out accelerated computing and high-speed video
transfer applications
- Zero Touch RoCE (ZTR) for scalable, easy-to-deploy,
best-in-class RoCE without switch configuration
- Accelerated switching and packet processing (ASAP2), with
built-in SR-IOV and VirtIO hardware offloads for virtualization and
containerization, to accelerate software-defined networking and
connection tracking for next-generation firewall services
ConnectX-6 Lx is sampling now, with general availability
expected in Q3 2020. Like all products in the ConnectX family, it
is compatible with the Mellanox SmartNIC software stack. Together
with Mellanox Spectrum® switches and the LinkX® family of cables
and transceivers, ConnectX SmartNICs enable the most comprehensive
end-to-end solution for high-performance networks. Broad
Industry SupportMellanox SmartNICs and software are used
in cloud, hyperscale and enterprise data centers, high performance
computing, cybersecurity and financial services systems around the
world. Here’s what some of NVIDIA’s technology partners are saying
about SmartNICs:
Scott Tease, general manager of High Performance Computing and
Artificial Intelligence at Lenovo Data Center Group, said: “Lenovo
offers best-of-breed solutions that are engineered, tested and
certified for cloud, HPC, artificial intelligence, and hyperscale
computing workloads. Mellanox ConnectX SmartNICs enable secure,
efficient, high-speed connectivity that accelerates networks and
provides critical business advantages for our clients.”
Rashid Khan, director of networking at Red Hat, said: “Security
is critically important for any enterprise data center or cloud
deployment. We worked closely with Mellanox to develop Connection
Tracking, which helps drive secure upstream and downstream
networking capabilities. Connection Tracking enables
software-defined networking and security to lock down critical
resources and data; it offers stateful security at each server, and
can be offloaded onto Mellanox ConnectX SmartNICs, reducing CPU
cycles for optimal hardware utilization.”
Michael McNerney, vice president of Marketing and Network
Security at Supermicro, said: “As the leader in high-performance
server and storage system technology, Supermicro strives to provide
customers with superior performance, features and improved TCO to
maximize the value from their data center. As more and more
enterprises transition from 10GbE to 25GbE, ConnectX-6 Lx offers
our customers a feature-packed 25GbE SmartNIC that can accelerate
their network and applications at a competitive price point.”
