Compact and Powerful InfiniBand FDR Adapter

The ADD ON-AOM-CIBF-M1M is the most compact, yet powerful, InfiniBand adapter in the market. Based on Mellanox® ConnectX-3 with Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI), it provides the highest performing and most flexible interconnect solution for servers used in Enterprise Data Centers and High-Performance Computing. The AOM-CIBF-M1M simplifies the system development by serving both InfiniBand and Ethernet fabrics in one hardware design. The ADD ON-AOM-CIBF-M1M comes pre-assembled with a riser card and bracket, and is designed in a small microLP form factor to fit Supermicro 12 node MicroCloud server systems.
