Mellanox Technologies (NASDAQ: MLNX), a provider of interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, launched switch-IB 2 - the new generation of its optimized InfiniBand switch for high-performance computing (HPC), Web 2.0, database data centers and cloud capable of 100Gb / s by port speeds
switch. -IB 2 MPI offloads operations from the CPU to the network to offer "10 times" performance improvement. The new Mellanox Technologies Switching solution enable breakthrough performance in building the next generation and scalable data centers to data-intensive.
"The needs of applications in high performance computing, Big Data, Internet of Things, and HyperScale markets are relentless," said Addison Snell, CEO, InterSect360 Research . "Speed and smart-switch EDR technology 100Gb / 2-IB Switch target trends we're seeing in the industry to improve efficiency and system-wide. With his approach to architecture co- design, Mellanox take the necessary measures in pursuit of the scalability and performance required at the forefront of discovery and innovation, both for research and businesses. "
Switch IB-2 incorporates SerDes 144 "that can operate at 1Gb / s to 25Gb speeds / per channel and provides 7.02 billion messages per second, 0ns latency switch and low power consumption energy. " This would be an appropriate solution for high performance computing (HPC) , cloud hosting, Web 2.0, databases and storage centers.
"the high-performance computing requirements, cloud and web applications today threaten to exceed the capacity of networks they run on," said Glenn Keels, executive director, Dell Engineered Solutions & Cloud . "Dell's mission is to provide solutions that solve the challenges of tomorrow, not just today. We work with Mellanox on innovative cutting-edge products such as Switch 2-IB, to ensure that our solutions enable our clients to achieve their goals to trigger new discoveries and accelerate innovation, it or analysis of data in real time, business intelligence or scientific research. "
Performance Application
collective operations, commonly used in HPC communication protocols such as MPI and SHMEM , have impact on the overall application performance and scale. Mellanox Technologies IB switch-2 allows the switch to manage group communications using the embedded hardware. switch IB-2 decrease the amount of data traversing the network, reduce application latency with additional benefit of freeing up CPU resources for calculation rather than using them to treat communication.
"large companies and small are struggling to keep pace with the rapid increase in demand for high-performance computing resources, "said Misage Scott, vice president and general manager, high performance Computing, Enterprise Hewlett Packard . "Servers with HPE Apollo InfiniBand solutions BDUs 100Gb / of Mellanox can provide customers scalable HPC systems, highly efficient and based on the performance required to solve, engineering and data analysis of the most difficult scientific problems world."
