Mellanox SwitchX®-based SX1016 Switch Solution and ConnectX®-3
Adapters Provide SHARCNET with World-Leading Ethernet Connectivity and
Performance
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 that the Shared
Hierarchical Academic Research Computing Network (SHARCNET), a
consortium of Canadian academic institutions focused on enabling
world-class academic research, has selected Mellanox's SX1016
10GbE switch solution and ConnectX-3
10GbE adapters to enhance their Ethernet interconnect fabric from 1GbE
to 10GbE. Mellanox's end-to-end 10GbE interconnect solutions were
selected due to their performance advantages, port density, low power
consumption, advance features and highest return-on-investment.
"Switching from 1GbE to 10GbE was an obvious decision for us in order to
improve our user's experience by overcoming interconnect bottlenecks and
poor application performance," said John Morton, technical manager at
SHARCNET. "In selecting an Ethernet provider to partner with, we chose
Mellanox and their Ethernet solutions, based on their SwitchX and
ConnectX technology, due to their performance, reliability and density
advantages."
"We are pleased to be selected by SHARCNET and to provide them with our
10GbE switch solution for their interconnect infrastructure," said Amir
Prescher, vice president of business development at Mellanox
Technologies. "Mellanox's 10/40GbE adapters and switches deliver the
most cost-effective Ethernet interconnect for data centers looking to
maximize their application productivity and return on investment."
