Products Overview

The demand for more computing power, efficiency and scalability is constantly accelerating in the HPC, enterprise, cloud computing and Web 2.0 markets. To address these demands Mellanox provides complete end-to-end solutions (silicon, adapter cards, switch systems, cables and software) supporting InfiniBand and Ethernet networking technologies.

Visit our solution pages to learn how Mellanox's InfiniBand and Ethernet technology can take your specific solution to the next level of performance, power and cost.

Adapter Silicon

Mellanox leads the industry by being the first to offer 10Gb/s, 20Gb/s, 40Gb/s, and 56Gb/s InfiniBand adapters and high-bandwidth, and industry-leading 10/40GbE adapters. Perfect for energy-efficient LOM designs, Mellanox's ConnectX-3, 5th generation adapter, leads the market in latency and bandwidth performance.

Adapter Cards

Mellanox adapter cards are designed to drive the full performance of high-speed InfiniBand and 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet fabrics. Mellanox's ConnectX-3, 5th generation InfiniBand adapter card, leads the market in performance, throughput, and lowest latency. Mellanox's ConnectX-3 EN Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NIC) deliver high-bandwidth and industry leading 10/40GigE connectivity with stateless offloads. ConnectX adapter cards with Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) provide the highest performing and most flexible interconnect solution for Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing, and Embedded environments.

InfiniBand Switch Silicon

Mellanox's performance leading switch silicon ICs enable OEMs to build the highest performing server and storage system interconnect solution for Enterprise Data Centers, Web 2.0, Cloud Computing, High-Performance Computing, and embedded environments. With reduced power, footprint and fully integrated PHY capabilities, Mellanox's switch silicon ICs provide network architects critical feature-sets to enable fabric-flexible server and storage systems to meet the increasing performance demands of their customers. SwitchX, the fifth generation switching IC from Mellanox, further improves the company's tradition of leading bandwidth, low-latency, and scalability by integrating Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) technology - allowing FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and 10/40Gb/s Ethernet traffic to exist on a single 'one-wire' fabric.

InfiniBand Switch Systems

Built with Mellanox's 4th and 5th generation InfiniScale IV and SwitchX InfiniBand switch device, Mellanox 20, 40Gb/s and 56Gb/s InfiniBand switches provide the highest-performing fabric solution by delivering high-bandwidth and low-latency to Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing and Embedded environments. Networks built with Mellanox switch systems can carry converged traffic with the combination of assured bandwidth and granular quality of service.

Ethernet Switch Silicon

SwitchX, the fifth generation switching IC from Mellanox, further improves the company’s tradition of leading bandwidth, low-latency, and scalability by integrating Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic on a single ‘one-wire’ fabric. The industryleading integration of 144 PHYs which are flexible enough to run 1 Gigabit to 10 Gigabit speeds per lane, makes SwitchX an obvious choice for OEMs that must address end-user requirements for faster and more robust applications.

Ethernet Switch Systems

Mellanox's scale-out 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet products enable users to benefit from a far more scalable, lower latency, and virtualized fabric with lower overall fabric costs and power consumption, greater efficiencies, and simplified management than traditional Ethernet fabrics.

Gateway Silicon

BridgeX is the first VPI (Virtual Protocol Interconnect) gateway allowing the OEMs to design I/O consolidation solutions using InfiniBand or Ethernet as the convergence fabric of choice.

Gateway Systems

Mellanox's series of gateway systems provided data centers with the ability to deploy I/O consolidation solutions using InfiniBand or Ethernet as the convergence fabric of choice. Mellanox gateway systems enables data centers to operate in high-performance 40Gb/s network speed on the hosts, while at the same time, connect to lower speed Gigabit and 10GigE LAN networks and 2, 4, 8Gb/s Fibre Channel SAN networks, providing I/O consolidation.

Management Software

Mellanox's comprehensive suite of management software provides an innovative application-centric approach to bridge the gap between servers, applications and fabric elements. Mellanox's Management Software's revolutionary fabric model allows users to manage fabrics as a set of business related entities such as time critical applications or services, and enables fabric monitoring and performance optimization on the application-logical level rather than just at the individual port or device level.

Acceleration Software

Mellanox provides a unique family of application acceleration products that together with its scale-out InfiniBand and 10GbE switches provide the highest performing solutions in the market. Mellanox's application acceleration software solutions reduce latency, increase throughput, and offload CPU cycles, enhancing the performance of applications while eliminating the need for large investments in hardware infrastructure.

Software Drivers and Tools

Mellanox offers High Performance Interconnect Software for HPC and Enterprise Data Centers. Mellanox Ethernet, InfiniBand and VPI drivers, protocol software and tools are supported by respective major OS Vendors and Distributions Inbox or by Mellanox where noted. Mellanox also supports all major processor architectures.

Cables

Mellanox cables are a cost-effective solution for connecting high bandwidth fabrics, extending the benefits of Mellanox’s high-performance InfiniBand and 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet adapters throughout the network. In addition to meeting or exceeding IBTA and IEEE standards, Mellanox Certified cables are 100% tested on Mellanox equipment to ensure optimal signal integrity and the best end-to-end performance. With Mellanox cables you will experience trouble-free installation and long-term operation.

M-1 Global Support Services
