ConnectX-7 provides dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation and protection for
virtual machines within the server.
Storage
Accelerat
ion
A consolidated compute and storage network achieves significant cost-performance advantages
over multi-fabric networks. Standard block and file access protocols can leverage:
RDMA for high-performance storage access
NVMe over Fabric offloads for the target machine
NVMe over TCP acceleration
SR-IOV
ConnectX-7 SR-IOV technology provides dedicated adapter resources and guaranteed isolation
and protection for virtual machines (VM) within the server.

Secure
Boot
The secure boot process assures booting of authentic firmware/software that is intended to run
on ConnectX-7. This is achieved using cryptographic primitives using asymmetric cryptography.
ConnectX-7 supports several cryptographic functions in its HW Root-of-Trust (RoT) that has its
key stored in on-chip FUSES.
Secure
Firmware
Update
The Secure firmware update feature enables a device to verify digital signatures of new
firmware binaries to ensure that only officially approved versions can be installed from the host,
the network, or a Board Management Controller (BMC). The firmware of devices with “secure
firmware update” functionality (secure FW), restricts access to specific commands and registers
that can be used to modify the firmware binary image on the flash, as well as commands that
can jeopardize security in general.
