QNAP Systems, today 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 200 Gbps total throughput. The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 is suited for overcoming performance bottlenecks with incredibly 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 100 GbE network environments to boost performance and reduce latency," said Andy Chuang, Product Manager of QNAP, adding "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 ideal for unleashing the full potential of QNAP's NVMe all-flash NAS, including the TS-h2490FU, TDS-h2489FU, and TS-h1290FX that feature PCIe Gen 4 slot(s) for industry-leading 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 unmatched performance of RDMA, RoCE v1/v2, and SR-IOV (1K VFs & 8 PFs). The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 also supports Windows Server (2016 or 2019) and Linux platforms.

Availability & Pricing

The QXG-100G2SF-CX6 network expansion card is available from the QNAP Accessories Store for 1199 USD.

Neat.
More stuff to pine over on eBay in 5 years.

If there were more dual-port infiniband/10+GbE using copper instead of fibre modules, I'd already have a daisy-chain 10+GbE LAN atop my 1GBASE-T LAN.

We're ~2 decades into 10Gb's use 'in industry', and it's crazy how expensive switches and routers are still, for anything over gigabit...
