ConnectX-6 Socket Direct™ Cards
The Socket Direct technology offers improved performance to dual-socket servers by enabling
direct access from each CPU in a dual-socket server to the network through its dedicated PCIe
interface.
Please note that ConnectX-6 Socket Direct cards do not support Multi-Host functionality (i.e.
connectivity to two independent CPUs). For ConnectX-6 Socket Direct card with Multi-Host
functionality, please contact NVIDIA.
ConnectX-6 Socket Direct cards are available in two configurations: Dual-slot Configuration (2x PCIe
x16) and Single-slot Configuration (2x PCIe x8).
