GPUDirect® communication acceleration
Mellanox Multi-Host® for connecting multiple compute or storage hosts to a single interconnect adapter card
Enhanced security solutions
Open Compute Project
The OCP NIC 3.0 specification extends the capabilities of OCP NIC 2.0 design specification. OCP 3.0 defines a different form factor and connector style than OCP 2.0. The OCP 3.0 specification defines two basic card sizes: Small Form Factor (SFF) and Large Form Factor (LFF). Mellanox OCP NICs are currently supported in a SFF.*
OCP 3.0 provides additional board real estate, thermal capacity, electrical interfaces, network interfaces, host conflagration and management. OCP 3.0 also introduces a new mating technique that simplifies FRU installation and removal, and reduces overall downtime.
* Future designs may utilize LFF to allow for additional PCIe lanes and/or network ports
