Mellanox Wins Data Center Interconnect Awards for Ethernet Switching and Virtual Protocol Interconnect Technology
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & YOKNEAM, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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 it has been
presented with two data center interconnect awards: the ZDNet
China Best Network Switch awarded to Mellanox's SX1024
non-blocking Top-of-Rack (ToR) 10/40Gb/s Ethernet Switch and the China
Network World 2012 Innovative Converged Network Solution for Cloud
awarded to Mellanox's Virtual Protocol Interconnect® (VPI) end-to end
solution including ConnectX-3
adapters and SwitchX-2
switches for both FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and 10/40Gb/s Ethernet based
interconnect solutions.
Mellanox's ConnectX-3 VPI adapters provide performance-leading FDR
56Gb/s InfiniBand and 10/40GbE for unprecedented scalability and
flexibility. ConnectX-3's innovative design, low power and flexible
protocol capability delivers the highest level of interconnect
throughput while reducing system power consumption and enabling
cost-effective networking topologies. This makes ConnectX-3 the
preferred solution for high-performance computing, Web 2.0, cloud,
virtualized data centers, database, storage, big data and financial
services.
The Mellanox SX1024, based on Mellanox's SwitchX-2
switch silicon, is the world's first non-blocking ToR switch with 48
10GbE ports and 12 40GbE ports in a 1U solution. The SX1024 enables data
center IT managers to increase their application performance and
eliminate the forced congestion imposed by other Ethernet switch
solutions. As a result, the SX1024 was recognized by ZDNet China as the
most efficient 10/40GbE ToR switch.
China Network World awarded the Mellanox VPI solution, including
ConnectX interconnect adapters and SwitchX interconnect switch products,
with its ‘Innovative Converged Network Award' for cloud computing. The
award was based on the flexibility of supporting both FDR 56Gb/s
InfiniBand and 10/40Gb/s Ethernet in a single interconnect solution, as
well as Mellanox's VPI solution's advanced application offloading and
comprehensive management.
"It is an honor to be recognized by ZDNet China and China Network World
for our product excellence in the cloud and enterprise data center
environments," said Gilad Shainer, vice president of market development
at Mellanox Technologies. "It's a testament to the hard working teams at
Mellanox who continue to deliver leading server and storage interconnect
technologies to our customers."
The annual ZDNet China and China Network World awards recognize vendors
and products that facilitate low latency and high efficiency across
small businesses and enterprise data centers in Asia.
