Qnap QXG-100G2SF-CX6 Dual-Port 100GbE PCIe 4.0 Expansion Card

Qnap Systems, Inc. launched the QXG-100G2SF-CX6 dual-port 100GbE PCIe 4.0 expansion card.

Featuring an Nvidia Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx controller, the QXG-100G2SF-CX6 can be installed in a Qnap all-flash NAS or Windows/Linux workstations/servers to provide up to 200Gb/s total throughput. It is suited for overcoming performance bottlenecks with low-latency in bandwidth-demanding applications including data centers, virtualization, multimedia streaming/transfer, and mission-critical backup/restore tasks.

“Server efficiency and virtualization density drive the growing demands for higher bandwidth, and the QXG-100G2SF-CX6 network expansion card provides an accessible solution for upgrading to 100GbE network environments to boost performance and reduce latency,“ said Andy Chuang, product manager. “The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 is a feature-rich networking solution with advanced technologies for lowering CPU workloads, making it ideal for I/O-intensive, latency-sensitive virtualization and enterprise-class storage applications.”

The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 is for unleashing the full potential of the company’s NVMe all-flash NAS, including the TS-h2490FU, TDS-h2489FU, and TS-h1290FX that feature PCIe Gen 4 slot(s) for throughput, low latency, and high message rate. It can be paired with high-speed switches to enable faster data transfer and network efficiency with the performance of RDMA, RoCE v1/v2, and SR-IOV (1K VFs and 8 PFs). It also supports Windows Server (2016 or 2019) and Linux platforms.

The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 network expansion card is available from the company’s Accessories Store.
