ConnectX FDR InfiniBand and 10/40GbE Adapter Cards Why Mellanox?Mellanox delivers the industry’s most robust end-to-end InfiniBand and Ethernet portfolios. Our mature, field-provenproduct offerings include solutions for I/O, switching, and advanced management software making us the only partner you’ll need for high-performance computing and data centerconnectivity. Mellanox’s scale-out FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and10/40GbE 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 providing the best return-on-investment.

Why FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand?Enables the highest performance and lowest latency– Proven scalability for tens-of-thousands of nodes– Maximum return-on-investmentHighest efficiency / maintains balanced system ensuring highest productivity– Provides full bandwidth for PCI 3.0 servers– Proven in multi-process networking requirements– Low CPU overhead and high sever utilizationPerformance driven architecture – MPI latency 0.7us, >12GB/s with FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand (bi-

directional)– MPI message rate of >90 Million/sec Superior application performance– From 30% to over 100% HPC application performance increase– Doubles the storage throughput, reducing backup time in half

InfiniBand Market ApplicationsInfiniBand is increasingly becomes an interconnect of choice in not just high-performance computing environments, but also in main-stream 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 consolida-tion and virtualization capabilities provides end-customers the ideal combination as they build out their applications.

Why Mellanox 10/40GbE?Mellanox’s scale-out 10/40GbE 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. Utilizing 10 and 40GbE NICs, core and top-of-rack switches and fabric optimization software, a broader array of end-users can benefit from a more scalable and high-performance Ethernet fabric.

Mellanox adapter cards are designed to drive the full performance of PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 I/O over high-speed FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand and 10/40GbE fabrics. ConnectX InfiniBand and Ethernet adapters lead the market in performance, throughput, power and lowest latency. ConnectX adapter cards provide the highest performing and most flexible interconnect solution for data centers, high-performance computing, Web 2.0, cloud computing, financial services and embedded environments.
