The HP 4X QDR InfiniBand Mezzanine HCA for c-Class BladeSystem is based on the Mellanox ConnectX-2 technology. The QDR IB HCA delivers low-latency and up to 40 Gbps (QDR) bandwidth for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and enterprise data centers.
