Powering Data Centres with NVIDIA Network Hardware
Our engineers work with top-tier network hardware to create high-performance SPDK, DPDK, and data centre solutions for our clients. Here are the network interface cards (NICs) and data processing units (DPUs) we employ:
ConnectX-7
It supports 400Gb/s throughput with advanced offloading for security, storage, and NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF). ConnectX-7 is ideal for high-demand data centres and cloud workloads.
ConnectX-6
Dual-port NIC offers up to 200Gb/s speed with enhanced RDMA and NVMe-oF support, boosting data transfer efficiency in storage and HPC environments.
ConnectX-5
It provides up to 100Gb/s throughput with hardware acceleration for network virtualisation and storage protocols, making it a versatile choice for cloud, SDN, and SPDK use cases.
BlueField DPU Controller
A DPU combines network, storage, and security acceleration into a single platform. BlueField offloads tasks from the CPU, boosting virtualisation and AI performance in data centres.
