The

Target uses
Financial institutions using high frequency trading or data exchange applications that require low

latency fabrics. This adapter delivers low latency Sockets and RDMA solutions for the ultimate in
application performance.
Web 2.0 and cloud service providers that need high bandwidth and processor off-loads to get the

highest productivity from their data centers.
Data centers deploying virtualized servers with high demands on the I/O infrastructure. With support

for 10 and up to 127 virtual machines, this adapter can satisfy the bandwidth demands of a virtualized
environment.
Features
The IBM Flex System EN4132 2-port 10Gb Ethernet Adapter has the following features:
RDMA over Converged Ethernet

ConnectX-3 uses IBTA RoCE technology to provide efficient RDMA services, delivering low-latency
and high-performance to bandwidth and latency sensitive applications. With link-level interoperability
in existing Ethernet infrastructure, network administrators can use existing data center fabric
management solutions.
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.
I/O virtualization

ConnectX-3 EN provides dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for
virtual machines within the server. ConnectX-3 EN gives data center managers better server
utilization and LAN and SAN unification while reducing costs, power, and complexity.
