Applications and Markets

InfiniBand is increasingly becoming an interconnect of choice in not just high performance computing environments, but also in mainstream enterprise grids, data center virtualization solutions, storage, and embedded environments. The low latency and high performance of InfiniBand coupled with the economic benefits of its consolidation and virtualization capabilities provides end-customers the ideal combination as they build out their applications. Learn how Mellanox's InfiniBand and Ethernet technology can take your solution to the next performance level:

Data Center

Mellanox’s InfiniBand and Ethernet solutions command the best price-performance-power value proposition when network and storage I/O processing capabilities at 10Gb/s or higher are needed. Cloud providers and data centers can utilize 40Gb/s InfiniBand or 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE to consolidate I/O in the server farm to a single wire and enable IT managers to deliver significantly higher application service levels, while reducing CAPEX and OPEX related to server and storage I/O infrastructures. Learn how Mellanox networking products can take your enterprise to the next performance level:

High-Performance Computing

With InfiniBand's proven scalability and efficiency, small and large clusters easily scale up to thousands of nodes. With 40Gb/s node-to-node and 120Gb/s switch-to-switch solutions available, and a roadmap to 240Gb/s, InfiniBand has proven its performance in personal supercomputing, workgroup, departmental, divisional, and enterprise supercomputers solutions.

Storage

InfiniBand’s high-bandwidth, low-latency, dedicated I/O channels, QoS and RDMA features can lower capital expenses and operating costs making it the right choice for storage.

Embedded

InfiniBand has emerged as an ideal solution for many embedded applications such as high-speed I/O links, reliable backplanes, and scaleable switch fabrics. With reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) built into the architecture, InfiniBand’s superior capabilities are enabling outstanding functionality in non-traditional systems.

Performance

High-performance compute clusters require a high-performance interconnect technology providing high bandwidth, low latency and low CPU overhead resulting in high CPU utilization for the application’s compute operations.
