Mellanox 324-Port 40Gb IB Switch Available Through HP

Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. announced that its MTS3610 324-port 40Gb/s InfiniBand switch is available through HP as part of the HP Unified Cluster Portfolio that includes servers, networks, storage, and cluster management software as a total integrated solution.

Built with Mellanox’s 4th generation InfiniScale IV InfiniBand switch device, MTS3610 switches provide up to 25.9 Terabits per second switching capability, and non blocking 40Gb/s bandwidth per port. The MTS3610 provides the highest performing fabric solution by delivering high bandwidth, low-latency unified I/O to Enterprise Data Centers and High-Performance Computing environments in a compact 19RU chassis.

When deployed to support servers equipped with Mellanox ConnectX 40Gb/s InfiniBand adapters, the MTS3610 enables a 400 percent reduction in the number of adapters and cables when compared against 10-Gigabit Ethernet systems while delivering four times the bandwidth. In addition, the Mellanox InfiniBand switch delivers significant reductions in power, space, and cooling costs when compared with other switches of similar capacity, making it an ideal solution for green computing initiatives.

"We are pleased to partner with HP to provide the most advanced interconnect solutions for their scale-out solutions to deliver critical networking capabilities for efficient data centers and high-performance systems," said John Monson, vice president of marketing at Mellanox Technologies. "Our 324-port InfiniBand switch and complete InfiniBand interconnect portfolio provides the fastest, most reliable, and most economical fabric for scale-out compute applications."

"Customers that rely on high-performance computing applications to accelerate business growth require high bandwidth, low latency and massive scalability," said Steve Cumings, director of product marketing, Scalable Computing and Infrastructure organization, HP. "Mellanox’s 40Gb/s InfiniBand products integrated with HP Cluster Platform solutions -build-to-order solutions which include servers, storage and networking – enable our customers to achieve the highest performance needed for scalable computing environments, such as HPC and cloud computing."

Mellanox’s industry-leading 40Gb/s InfiniBand products are proven 40Gb/s InfiniBand networking solutions for high-performance clustering. Mellanox ConnectX 40Gb/s InfiniBand adapters enable the fastest transaction latency, as low as 1μsec, and the highest transaction rate of above 50 million messages per second, making it the most scalable and suitable solution for current and future transaction-demanding applications. Mellanox 40Gb/s InfiniBand switches incorporate advanced tools that simplify networking management and installation, and provide the needed capabilities for the highest scalability and future growth. Networks built with MTS3610 systems can carry converged traffic with the combination of assured bandwidth and granular quality of service.
