Mellanox Collaborates with Dell 

Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. today announced its 10/40GbE adapters for rack servers and 10GbE mezzanine adapters for blades are now available with Dell Fluid Cache for SAN. The Mellanox high speed adapters help enable Dell Fluid Cache to accelerate applications such as online transactional processing (OLTP) and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) in a scalable, low-latency environment.

Mellanox Technologies provides the connection to the low–latency, private cache network on 10/40GbE ConnectX-3 Network Interface Cards (NICs). This enables customers to increase mobility and scalability at the highest throughput while lowering CPU overhead and application costs. Mellanox’s ESXi 5.5 drivers running over ConnectX-3 based adapters deliver the industry’s fastest Ethernet speeds with backwards compatibility to 10/40GbE for infrastructure flexibility.

“Mellanox’s interconnects provide businesses with high performance, flexibility and stability while also addressing issues that plague data centers running powerful workloads,” said Chuck Tybur, vice president, global accounts and Americas OEM sales at Mellanox Technologies. “By combining our technology and Dell Fluid Cache for SAN, we’re helping Dell offer a scalable solution with exceptional efficiency and computing density.”

“Customers demand solutions that help address application performance issues, eliminate data loss and improve response time for consumers,” said Brian Payne, executive director server solutions at Dell. “Dell Fluid Cache for SAN combined with Mellanox’s 10/40GbE adapters accelerates application performance and helped us achieve over 5 million random read input/output per second (IOPS), as shown live at Dell World 2013.”
