The Mellanox family of Open Ethernet switches provides the most efficient network solution for the ever-increasing performance demands of data center applications. The Open Ethernet family includes a broad portfolio of 1RU-sized switches, ranging from 16 ports through 128 ports and with speeds from 1Gb/s to 400Gb/s, allowing the construction of purpose-built data centers at any scale with any desired blocking ratio. This enables network and data center managers to design and implement a cost-effective switch fabrics by the “pay as you grow” principle, in which the fabric can be composed of a few servers in the beginning, and grow gradually into hundreds of thousands of servers.

Incorporating SDN attributes, the Mellanox Ethernet solution rewards the data center administrator with tools that provide a clean, simple and flexible view, and orchestration capabilities for the infrastructure. The result is an easily accessible framework that provides the data center applications with utmost elasticity. Accompanied by Mellanox’s Networking Orchestrator (NEOTM), as well as the world’s fastest network interface cards, interconnect modules and cables, Mellanox provides a complete end-to-end Ethernet solution that scales to perform at the highest level.

With its unique design principles and uncompromised quality, Mellanox’s latest generation of Ethernet data center switch integrated circuits draws a new benchmark line for industry performance.
