Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and high frequency trading are just a few applications that achieve significant throughput and latency improvements, resulting in faster access, real-time response, and more users per server. Based on Mellanox ConnectX-3 EN technology, this adapter improves network performance by increasing available bandwidth while decreasing the associated transport load on the processor. The following figure shows the adapter.
Features
- The Flex System EN4132 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter has the following features:
- RDMA over Ethernet
- ConnectX-3 provides efficient RDMA services, delivering low-latency and high-performance to bandwidth and latency sensitive applications.
- Sockets acceleration
- Applications using TCP/UDP/IP transport can achieve industry-leading throughput over 10 GbE. The hardware-based stateless off load and flow steering engines in ConnectX-3 reduce the processor overhead of IP packet transport, freeing more processor cycles to work on the application. Sockets acceleration software further increases performance for latency sensitive applications.

As transaction volumes rise, your existing compute and storage clustering interconnects may have trouble keeping up. Yet you
know that response time matters—you have to keep up with the competition and new regulations demand real-time risk analysis.
You need to be able to scale your network and storage capabilities to meet the demands of your applications.
Meet Demands
The Lenovo Flex System EN6131 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Switch in conjunction with the Flex System EN6132 40 GbE Adapter is designed to offer the performance you need to support clustered databases, parallel processing, transactional services and high-performance embedded I/O applications, reducing task completion time and lowering cost per operation. This switch offers 14 40 Gb internal ports and up to 18 external QSFP 40 Gb ports that enables a non-blocking network design. It supports all Layer 2 functions so servers can communicate within the chassis without going to a top-of-rack switch. This feature helps improve performance and latency.
Efficient Computing
This switch and adapter are designed for low latency, high bandwidth, and computing efficiency for performance-driven server
and storage clustering applications. With this combination, your organization can achieve efficient computing by offloading from the CPU protocol processing and data movement overhead such as RDMA and Send/Receive semantics allowing more processor power for the application.
As clients look for higher performance,power usage has emerged as a key concern in data centers. The Flex System 40 Gb solution offers the highest bandwidth without adding any significant power overhead.
More Workloads
Clients are also looking for higher utilization of their existing hardware by leveraging virtualization and cloud computing models. As workload density per server increases, it needs to be balanced by appropriate I/O throughput. The 40 Gb solution offered by Flex System can deploy more workloads per server without running into I/O bottlenecks. In case of failures or server maintenance, clients can also move their virtual machines much faster using 40 Gb interconnects within the chassis.

Introduction
The CN4054S 4-port and CN4052S 2-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapters are VFA5.2 adapters that are supported on ThinkSystem and Flex System compute nodes.
The CN4052S can be divided into up to eight virtual NIC (vNIC) devices per port (for a total of 16 vNICs) and the CN4054S can be divided in to four vNICs (for a total of 16 vNICs). Each vNIC can have flexible bandwidth allocation. These adapters also feature RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) capability, and support iSCSI, and FCoE protocols, either as standard or with the addition of a Features on Demand (FoD) license upgrade.
Features
- The CN4054S 4-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter and CN4052S 2-port 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter, which are part of the VFA5.2 family of System x and Flex System adapters, reduce cost by enabling a converged infrastructure and improve performance with powerful offload engines. The adapters have the following features and benefits:
- Multiprotocol support for 10 GbE
- The adapters offer two (CN4052S) or four (CN4054S) 10 GbE connections and are cost- and performance-optimized for integrated and converged infrastructures. They offer a “triple play” of converged data, storage, and low latency RDMA networking on a common Ethernet fabric. The adapters provides customers with a flexible storage protocol option for running heterogeneous workloads on their increasingly converged infrastructures.
Virtual NIC emulation
- The Emulex VFA5.2 family supports three NIC virtualization modes as standard: Virtual Fabric mode (vNIC1), switch independent mode (vNIC2), and Unified Fabric Port (UFP). With NIC virtualization, each of the physical ports on the adapter can be logically configured to emulate up to four or eight virtual NIC (vNIC) functions with user-definable bandwidth settings. With UFP or vNIC2, the CN4052S supports eight vNICs per port. Both adapters support four vNICs per port with vNIC1 and vNIC2. Additionally, each physical port can simultaneously support a storage protocol (FCoE or iSCSI).

Introduction
- The Flex System IB6132 2-port FDR InfiniBand Adapter and Mellanox ConnectX-3 Mezz FDR 2-Port InfiniBand Adapter deliver low latency and high bandwidth for performance-driven server clustering applications in enterprise data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and embedded environments. The adapter is designed to operate at InfiniBand FDR speeds (56 Gbps or 14 Gbps per lane).
- Clustered databases, parallelized applications, transactional services, and high-performance embedded I/O applications potentially achieve significant performance improvements, helping to reduce completion time and lower the cost per operation. These Mellanox ConnectX-3 adapters simplify network deployment by consolidating clustering, communications, and management I/O, and helps provide enhanced performance in virtualized server environments.
Performance
- Mellanox ConnectX-3 technology provide a high level of throughput performance for all network environments by removing I/O bottlenecks in mainstream servers that are limiting application performance. Servers can achieve up to 56 Gbps transmit and receive bandwidth. Hardware-based InfiniBand transport and IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) stateless off-load engines handle the segmentation, reassembly, and checksum calculations that otherwise burden the host processor.
- RDMA over the InfiniBand fabric further accelerates application run time while reducing CPU utilization. RDMA allows very high-volume transaction-intensive applications typical of HPC and financial market firms, as well as other industries where speed of data delivery is paramount to take advantage. With the ConnectX-3-based adapter, highly compute-intensive tasks running on hundreds or thousands of multiprocessor nodes, such as climate research, molecular modeling, and physical simulations, can share data and synchronize faster, resulting in shorter run times. High-frequency transaction applications are able to access trading information more quickly, making sure that the trading servers are able to respond first to any new market data and market inefficiencies, while the higher throughput enables higher volume trading, maximizing liquidity and profitability.
- In data mining or web crawl applications, RDMA provides the needed boost in performance to search faster by solving the network latency bottleneck associated with I/O cards and the corresponding transport technology in the cloud. Various other applications that benefit from RDMA with ConnectX-3 include Web 2.0 (Content Delivery Network), business intelligence, database transactions, and various Cloud computing applications. Mellanox ConnectX-3's low power consumption provides clients with high bandwidth and low latency at the lowest cost of ownership.
