Product Flash – Bridgeworks Potomac 40Gb iSCSI-to-SAS Bridge
Written By: Erin Filliater, Enterprise Market Development Manager The amount of worldwide digital information is growing on a daily basis, and all of that data has to be stored somewhere, usually in external storage infrastructures, systems and devices. Of course, in order for that information to be useful, you need to have fast access [...]
Interconnect analysis: InfiniBand and 10GigE in High-Performance Computing
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 [...]
Thanks for coming to see us at VMworld
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 [...]
Missed Mellanox at Interop?
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/O Virtualization
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 [...]
Mellanox ConnectX Ethernet – I/O Consolidation for the Data Center
Today’s data center requires a low-cost, low-power I/O solution with network flexibility to provide I/O consolidation on a single adapter. Network administrators want the best performance, scalability, latency while solving all their LAN, SAN and IPC (Clustering) needs packed into one adapter card in a virtualized or data center environment. ConnectX® is a single chip [...]
Mellanox at VMworld Europe
Yesterday, myself along with Motti Beck and Ali Ayoub (our main VMware software developer at Mellanox) diligently put together a very compelling demo that highlights the convergence capabilities of our BridgeX BX 4000 gateway that we announced last week. We unpacked everything and got it all up and running in less than an hour (this [...]
QuickTransit Performance Results
As previously suggested, I will review in this post a different application that is focused on converting protocols. QuickTransit, developed by a company called Transitive (recently acquired by IBM), is a cross-platform virtualization technology which allows applications that have been compiled for one operating system and processor to run on servers that use a different [...]
Hitting the New Year Running – Virtualization
You don’t have to ask – vacation was awesome and as always not as long as we would like it to be. Now that we’ve taken the rust off our fingers, we’ve made progress with a bit more complex testbed. We’ve decided to look at the virtualization space and run our next application on top [...]
