Mellanox Innova IPsec 4 Lx EN 1-Port QSFP 40GbE PCIe3.0 x8 NIC

The Mellanox Innova IPsec 4 Lx EN adapter card provides security acceleration for IPsec-enabled networks while taking advantage of the ConnectX-4 Lx EN network controller's amazing performance, unmatched scalability, and efficiency. The constantly growing demand for security and privacy in modern data centers, private and public clouds, Web 2.0 infrastructure, and telecommunication systems, requires the use of security protocols. IPsec is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. However, the high computing power required by the IPsec algorithms consumes expensive CPU cycles and limits network connection performance.
