Mellanox Increases ROI for Data Centers

Mellanox (News - Alert) Technologies is enabling users to increase their data center return-on-investment with the release of FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand solutions that allow users to accelerate their research and product development, and deliver high quality application performance over competing interconnect solutions.

Mellanox Technologies is a supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems. Benchmarks were performed on multiple applications including OpenFOAM (Computational Fluid Dynamic), NAMD (Molecular Dynamics) and CP2K (Molecular Simulations).

All these benchmarks are said to have demonstrated 20 to 30 percent higher performance with sixteen compute nodes as compared to QDR 40Gb/s InfiniBand, a100 to 200 percent higher performance when compared to 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet.

“These application benchmarks highlight the performance advantage of FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and the return-on-investment it provides to users,” said Gilad Shainer, vice president of marketing at Mellanox Technologies. “Mellanox’s FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand solution is the most efficient interconnect solution for connecting servers and storage systems, delivering high throughput, low latency and world-leading application performance.”

Mellanox’s Connect-IB FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand adapter has the ability to deliver 3X higher message rate over competing solutions. The company is offering this solution with ConnectX-3 and Connect-IB adapter cards, SwitchX-2 based switches, fiber and copper cables, and ScalableHPC accelerator and management software.

Delisting means Mellanox is subject to one set of listing regulations instead of two. This in turn allows the company to give more focus on its business and cut down the cost of operations.

Mellanox Technologies supplies end-to-end InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnect solutions and services for servers and storage.

Last month, Mellanox Technologies voluntarily delisted the company's ordinary shares from trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE).
