You need a 10/25GbE uplink that doesn't eat your CPU budget on offload. The Mellanox ConnectX-6 Lx handles the networking grunt work in hardware, frees your cores for what they're actually supposed to do, and gives you two SFP28 ports that auto-negotiate 10 or 25GbE. PCIe form factor, drops into your Lenovo ThinkSystem server, and you're running a faster uplink without a platform swap. You pick the transceivers; the card does the rest
