Lenovo Mellanox ConnectX-4 2x100 GbE/EDR IB Adapter 00MM960 | QSFP28, VPI

Move more traffic through fewer slots with the Lenovo DCG server option based on the Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapter. This dual-port design is built for environments where storage, virtualization, and cluster communication all compete for bandwidth. With support for 2 x 100 GbE and EDR InfiniBand, it gives infrastructure teams a high-speed path for east-west traffic, storage access, and compute fabric connectivity. QSFP28 interfaces make the adapter suitable for dense server builds where port density and cable management matter. VPI support adds deployment flexibility across Ethernet and InfiniBand environments, which is valuable when standardizing hardware across mixed infrastructure tiers or planning phased fabric migrations. For architects designing around throughput, latency sensitivity, and slot efficiency, this class of adapter is often chosen over lower-speed alternatives because it reduces bottlenecks at the server edge. This is a strong fit for HPC clusters, storage-heavy virtualization hosts, and data-intensive application servers. It is also a practical procurement choice when the goal is to consolidate connectivity into a single server option while preserving headroom for growth. The result is a cleaner, faster interconnect layer that better matches the demands of modern rack-scale systems.
