L3 Routing Introduced for Mellanox 10/40GbE Switches
MLNX-OS™ now supports routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, VRRP and
PIM
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SC12 -— Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX) (TASE: MLNX),
a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect
solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced
availability of L3 software features in MLNX-OS, the company's switch
software stack. The addition of these Ethernet routing protocols enables
end-users to build large Ethernet networks that leverage Mellanox's
SwitchX® based 10/40GbE switch systems for superior throughput, latency
and power. NVGRE, VXLAN and similar technologies run on top of Mellanox
L2/L3 Ethernet switches to enable IP-based scalable, fully virtualized
networks.
Storage clusters are under constant demand for higher throughput rates
and speeds to increase the performance and efficiency of the entire
cluster. L3 implementation over Mellanox's SwitchX Ethernet switch
system portfolio enables network administrators to build a robust,
scalable and high performing end-to-end solution at speeds up to 56Gb/s.
"Our new routing capabilities help us provide a great solution for the
growing needs for 40GbE, non-blocking storage networks, typically built
in a CLOS-3 topology, that leverage SwitchX's 4Tb/s switching/routing
capacity," said Michael Kagan, CTO at Mellanox Technologies. "Providing
IP-based scalable 10/40GbE and even 56GbE networks increases Mellanox's
ability to deliver solutions for the increasing need of bandwidth
sensitive applications."
