The Mellanox CX414A ConnectX-4 EN is a dual-port 56GbE Ethernet network interface card (NIC) designed for high-performance computing and data center environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput connectivity. This PCIe-based adapter delivers 56 Gbps per port (112 Gbps aggregate) and supports both standard Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols, making it suitable for HPC clusters, financial services infrastructure, scientific computing, and enterprise storage networking. The CX414A is compatible with x86 and POWER-based servers supporting PCIe Gen3 slots and operates with standard Linux, Windows, and hypervisor drivers.
Typical deployments include Hadoop/Spark clusters, distributed databases, backup and disaster recovery systems, and any environment where sub-microsecond latencies and sustained multi-100Gbps throughput are critical. The card's dual-port design enables flexible network configurations including active-active bonding, redundancy, or separate traffic segregation. This is a refurbished unit tested and guaranteed fully functional; available via quote from G5 Network Group.
