Description
QNAP Dual-port 100 GbE Network Expansion Card – PCI Express 4.0 x16 – 2 Port(s) – Optical Fiber – 100GBase-X – QSFP28 – Plug-in Card
2-port Ultra-high-speed 100GbE Networking with Low Latency
Features
The dual-port QXG-100G2SF-CX6 100GbE network expansion card with NVIDIA Mellanox® ConnectX-6 Dx controller supports PCIe 4.0 and provides up to 200Gbps total throughput to overcome performance bottlenecks. Supporting offload functionality including RDMA, RoCE v1/v2, and SR-IOV (1K VFs & 8 PFs), the QXG-100G2SF-CX6 greatly boosts network efficiency and is ideal for I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive virtualization and data centers. The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 is a perfect match for all-flash storage to realize the highest performance potential for ever-demanding IT challenges.
Supports NAS and PC OS
QNAP Network Expansion Cards support NAS operating systems (QTS and QuTS hero), Windows® 10, Windows Server® and Linux®, allowing you to expand the performance potential of all your networked devices.
Pair with high-speed switches for high-performance, low-latency data transfer
The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 network expansion card can be connected to a switch with QSFP28 cables or transceiver, for an incredible total throughput of up to 200GbE.
100GbE to 100GbE with more NAS
Connect two or more NAS systems installed with the QXG-100G2SF-CX6 to a 100GbE switch to form a high-speed storage environment.
Up to 200GbE total bandwidth
Connect two 100GbE ports on the QXG-100G2SF-CX6 to a 100GbE or faster switch for obtaining 200GbE maximum total bandwidth.
Unleash the full potential of the NVMe all-flash NAS
Install the QXG-100G2SF-CX6 in an NVMe all-flash NAS (TS-h2490FU, TDS-h2489FU, and TS-h1290FX) that features PCIe Gen 4 x16 slot(s) to fully realize 100Gbps performance and eliminate bottlenecks in modern data centers, virtualization, cloud applications, and mission-critical backup/restore tasks.
Supports SR-IOV for Improved Network Efficiency
The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 supports SR-IOV which can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. It ensures reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads.
Smart NIC SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization)
By installing an SR-IOV compatible PCIe SmartNIC, you can allocate bandwidth resources from a physical network card directly to VMs. With traffic bypassing the Hypervisor vSwitch, it helps enhance I/O throughout and network efficiency, ensuring reliable VM applications and reduced CPU overheads.
Supports RoCE for Reduced Latency and Enhanced Performance for VM Environments
The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 supports RoCE, which can access a network directly in RAM to effectively reduce latency and enhance performance and efficiency for VMware® virtualization environments.
