Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-4 100GbE/EDR InfiniBand QSFP28 2-Port VPI PCIe Adapter

Ethernet and InfiniBand in one card is the idea behind the Lenovo ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-4 100GbE/EDR InfiniBand QSFP28 2-Port VPI PCIe Adapter, part number 00MM960. The title lists 100GbE and EDR InfiniBand, two QSFP28 ports, and the VPI label.

The VPI name points to a card that can be set up for either network type. Check the manufacturer's documentation for how a port is switched between modes. Plan the fabric before you order, because the optics, cables and switches at the other end have to match the mode.

Two QSFP28 ports at 100GbE suit high-bandwidth workloads such as clustered storage and compute nodes. QSFP28 modules or cables are bought separately.

The controller is the ConnectX-4 generation, listed under the Mellanox name. It is mostly bought to keep existing clusters running or to replace a failed card in a system configured with it.
