Description

Mellanox have enhanced their popular ConnectX-5 and Connect-6 High Performance NICs by adding multiple on-board ARM processors and an Open V-Switch to create a hybrid NIC/System on a chip.

The ARM cores on these devices can support various Linux distributions allowing some unique use-cases for improving network agility on bare metal servers and adding enhanced security and state-awareness to customer traffic loads. We will cover some examples where this new programmable technology can offer some interesting enhancements to traditional server/network architectures.
