Customer sharing their Cluster-in-a-box solutions leveraging Mellanox RDMA-based NIC cards in order to take advantage of Microsoft SMB Direct and increase the file storage system's performance. RDMA enabled NICs also known as R-NICs offload SMB CPU processing in large bandwidth transfers to dedicated functions in the NIC. This process minimizes CPU utilization for huge transfers and reduces the "cost per byte" of data transferred through the network stack in a server by bypassing most layers of software and communicating directly with the hardware.
