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 [...]
We were very excited to announce today that the Intalio|Cloud Appliance, accelerated by Mellanox 40Gb/s InfiniBand, has received a Best of VMworld 2009 award in the Cloud Computing Technologies category. It’s not too late to see what the fuss is all about. The Intalio|Cloud Appliance is being demonstrated at our booth (#2220) at VMworld in San [...]
Mellanox and LINBIT just announced a collaboration with Logicworks. Together, the companies are working to develop a high-performance replication system for Logicworks’ customers. LINBIT DRBD open source technology combined with the InfiniBand fabric from Mellanox will lower costs and make it possible to achieve unprecedented levels of input/output (I/O) performance, leading to improved cloud-based storage [...]
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.
Started in 1993, the TOP500 lists the fastest computers used today, ranked according to Linpack benchmark results. Published twice a year, the TOP500 list provides an important tool for tracking usage trends in high-performance computing. The 33rd TOP500 List was released in Hamburg, Germany, during the ISC’09 conference. This year’s list revealed that Mellanox InfiniBand [...]
On Tuesday, May 26, the Research Center Jülich reached a significant milestone of German and European supercomputing with the inauguration of two new supercomputers: the supercomputer JUROPA and the fusion machine HPC FF. The symbolic start of the systems were triggered by the German Federal Minister for Education and Research, Prof. Dr. Annette Schavan, the [...]
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 [...]
I’m still pondering my take on Interop this year. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so many abandoned spaces on the show floor. Mind you most were 10×10 or 10×20 spots, but you could tell there were others who really went light on their presence. I saw one booth which had a 40×40 booth [...]
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, [...]
Recently while talking with an IT operations manager for a major Web retailer, I was enlightened on the importance of reducing latency in web-based applications. He explained that they were challenged to find a way to reduce the response time to their web customers. They investigated this for quite some time before discovering that the [...]
