I am proud to announce that Mellanox’s SwitchX® line of InfiniBand and Ethernet switches have received a gold certification for Internet Protocol v6 (IPv6) by the Internet Protocol Forum. Adding IPv6 support to our SwitchX series is another milestone for Mellanox’s InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnect solutions, and demonstrates our commitment to producing quality, interoperable InfiniBand [...]
InfiniBand and Ethernet are the leading interconnect solutions for connecting servers and storage systems in high-performance computing and in enterprise (virtualized or not) data centers. Recently, the HPC Advisory Council has put together the most comprehensive database for high-performance computing applications to help users understand the performance, productivity, efficiency and scalability differences between InfiniBand and [...]
Today we launched ConnectX®-2 EN 40G converged network adapter card, the world’s first 40 Gigabit Ethernet adapter solution. ConnectX-2 EN 40G enables data centers to maximize the utilization of the latest multi-core processors, achieve unprecedented Ethernet server and storage connectivity, and advance LAN and SAN unification efforts. Mellanox’s 40 Gigabit Ethernet converged network adapter sets [...]
VMworld was everything we expected and more. The traffic was tremendous and we had a lot of excitement and buzz in our booth (especially after we won the Best of VMworld in the Cloud Computing category). Just in case you were unable to sit through one of Mellanox’s presentations, or from one of our partners [...]
ISC’09 in Hamburg, Germany, went exceptionally well. Below is a quick video of us launching the new IS5000 family of 40Gb/s InfiniBand switches to the attending press and analysts. Afterwards, Gilad Shainer, director of HPC marketing, gives you a tour on the live booth demonstrations for both 40Gb/s IB and low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Just in case you missed us at Interop 2009, below are just a few of the presentations that took place in our booth. Mellanox 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40Gb/s InfiniBand adapters, switches and gateways are key to making your data center F.U.E.L. Efficient Mellanox Product Manager, Satish Kikkeri, provides additional details on Low-Latency Ethernet [...]
This week I presented in the LS-DYNA user conference. LS-DYNA is one of the most used applications for automotive related computer simulations – simulations that are being used throughout the vehicle design process and decreases the need to build expensive physical prototypes. Computer simulation usage has decreased the vehicle design cycle from years to month, [...]
I/O virtualization is a complimentary solution for server and storage virtualization, which aims to reduce the management complexity of physical connections in and out of virtual hosts. Virtualized data center clusters will have multiple networking connections to LAN and SAN, and virtualizing the network avoids the extra complexity associated with it. While I/O virtualization reduces [...]
Last week I was at Storage Networking World in Orlando, Florida. The sessions were a lot better organized with focus on all the popular topics like Cloud Computing, Storage Virtualization and Solid State Storage (SSD). In our booth, we demonstrated our Layer 2 agnostic storage supporting iSCSI, FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and SRP (SCSI RDMA [...]
It took me a while but I’m back – hope you’re all been waiting to hear from me . With that, I’ve decided to go into un-charted territories…HADOOP Hadoop is an Apache project. It is a framework, written in Java, for running applications on large clusters built with commodity hardware (distributed computing). Hadoop implements [...]
