Mellanox ConnectX-2 Technology HP InfiniBand HCAs based on the Mellanox ConnectX-2 technology with Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) provide the highest performing and most flexible interconnect solution for Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing, and Embedded environments. Clustered data bases, parallelized applications, transactional services and high-performance embedded I/O applications will achieve significant performance improvements resulting in reduced completion time and lower cost per operation. ConnectX-2 with VPI also simplifies network deployment by consolidating cables and enhancing performance in virtualized server environments. The key features of Mellanox ConnectX-2 include:  Virtual Protocol Interconnect  1us MPI ping latency  Selectable 10, 20, or 40Gb/s InfiniBand or 10GigE per port  Single- and Dual-Port options available  PCI Express 2.0 (up to 5GT/s)  CPU offload of transport operations  End-to-end QoS and congestion control  Hardware-based I/O virtualization  TCP/UDP/IP stateless offload  Fibre Channel encapsulation (FCoIB or FCoE)  RoHS-R6 The following table provides a link to the specifications and documentation for the Mellanox ConnectX-2 HCAs used in HP InfiniBand configurations.
