Mellanox Technologies Ltd. (Santa Clara, CA; mellanox.com) has announced the immediate availability of ConnectX EN dual-port 10-gigabit Ethernet adapter chips and NICs (network interface cards), which, says the company, will optimize data center productivity with high throughput and latency performance. Intended for such applications as clustered databases, web infrastructure, and virtualized solutions, ConnectX EN can reduce data center infrastructure complexity when compared to multiple, slower speed Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections, according to Mellanox.

ConnectX EN does not require external memories or interface support devices (for CX4 copper cables or XFP optical fiber modules), an attribute that makes it easy to integrate in low-power blade servers and volume LAN on motherboard designs. Its I/O services are also said to scale easily with multi-core CPUs and virtualized server and storage architectures.

Key features of the ConnectX EN 10-gigabit Ethernet adapter products include 17.6 GBps bidirectional throughput and TCP/IP latencies of less than 7 microseconds as well as the ability to spread traffic evenly across computing cores or virtual machines. ConnectX EN has a set of features that complement Intel and AMD virtualization technologies, traffic flow, and accelerate I/O traffic processing in virtualized server deployments.
