Mellanox Infinihost III Ex MHEA28-1TC 4X HCA PCI-e x8 128MB
InfiniHost III Ex MHEA28-1TC
dual-port 4X InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter (HCA) cards connect to the host
system through a PCI Express x8
interface.
Single data rate (SDR)
InfiniHost III Ex cards support dual 10Gb/s InfiniBand connections while double
data rate (DDR) versions support
dual
20Gb/s InfiniBand connections. InfiniHost III Ex HCA cards deliver the most cost
effective 10 or 20Gb/s solution available and feature
remote direct memory access (RDMA),
hardware transport, and advanced per queue pair (QP) QoS services.
All InfiniHost III Ex cards
can be directly inserted into PCI Express x8 or wider slots of
standard
servers, blade servers,
storage and communications platforms to enable InfiniBand fabrics.
All adapter cards utilize 4X
MicroGigaCN InfiniBand compliant connectors for copper cables.
This copper connector provides the
lowest cost 10 or 20Gb/s connection available.
In addition, a pluggable media adapter
module can be used for fiber connections up tp 300m.

HCA Application Support
The InfiniBand
architecture defines and supports many applications, most with remote direct
memory access (RDMA) capabilities.
This dexterity enables high
performance clustering, communication and storage traffic to be run over an
InfiniBand fabric.
These HCA cards have
hardware support for the following protocols: MPI (for HPC clusters), DAT (for
databases), SDP (for legacy applications),
IPoIB
(Internet Protocol over
InfiniBand), NFS over RDMA (for network attached storage), SRP (for block
storage), and many embedded applications
like
video streaming, aerospace,
military, and electronic controls.
