REFERENCE GUIDE

Mellanox 40 to 56Gb/s InfiniBand switches deliver the highest performance and density with a complete fabric management solution to enable compute clusters and converged data centers to operate at any scale while reducing operational costs and infrastructure complexity. Scal-able switch building blocks from 36 to 648 ports in a single enclosure gives IT managers the flexibility to build networks up to 10’s of thousands of nodes.

Mellanox’s scale-out 10 and 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.

Key Features - InfiniBand– 51.8Tb/s switching capacity – 100 to 300ns switching latency– Hardware-based routing– Congestion control

Key Features - 10/40GbE– Linear scalability, non-blocking connectivity– High-density, lower power data center switch– Converged Enhanced Ethernet technology

Why Mellanox 10/40GbE?Mellanox’s Mellanox’s scale-out 10/40GbE products enable users tobenefit from a far more scalable, lower latency, and virtualized fabricwith lower overall fabric costs and power consumption, greaterefficiencies, and simplified management than traditional Ethernetfabrics. From 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet Converged Network Adapters,core and top-of-rack switches and fabric optimization software, abroader array of end users with less rigid performance requirementsthan those addressed by InfiniBand can benefit from a more scalableand high performance Ethernet fabric.han traditional 10GbE fabrics.

Why HP?HP isn’t just a reseller of Mellanox InfiniBand and Ethernet NICs, switches and software products described in this reference guide. HPalso tests these components in HP systems and integrates them withrelated HP products in end-to-end HP solutions built at our fourregional integration centers. HP provides Level 1, 2, and 3 Support forthese products, and our worldwide HPC engineering team meetsregularly with Mellanox counterparts to keep in synch with newproduct enhancements. This means that customers can procure anddeploy HP/Mellanox systems globally and be confident of high quality,reliability and support from a single solution provider.

Mellanox adapter cards are designed to drive the full performance of high-speed InfiniBand (up to 56Gb/s) and 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet fabrics. Mellanox ConnectX adapter cards deliver high bandwidth and industry-leading connectivity for performance-driven server and storage applications in Enterprise Data Centers, Web 2.0, High-Performance Computing, and Embedded environments. Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and high frequency trading are just a few example applications that will achieve significant throughput and latency improvements resulting in faster access, real-time response and increased number of users per server.

Benefits– Industry-leading throughput and latency performance– Enabling I/O consolidation by supporting TCP/IP, FC over Ethernet

and RDMA over Ethernet transport protocols on a single adapter – Improved productivity and efficiency– Supports industry-standard SR-IO Virtualization technology and delivers VM protection and

granular levels of I/O services to applications – High-availability and high-performance for data center networking– Software compatible with standard TCP/UDP/IP and iSCSI stacks– High level silicon integration and no external memory design

provides low power, low cost and high reliabilityTarget Applications– Web 2.0 data centers and cloud computing– Low latency financial services– Data center virtualization – I/O consolidation (single unified wire for networking,

storage and clustering)– Video streaming – Enterprise data center applications– Accelerating back-up and restore operations
