The Mellanox BX4010 is the first Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) gateway allowing data centers to deploy I/O consolidation solutions using InfiniBand or Ethernet as the convergence fabric of choice. Networks have increased in size and managing a growing multi-infrastructure has become a daunting task. Enterprise data centers currently use three different networks—Storage Area Networks using Fibre Channel transport for storage access, Local Area Network using Ethernet transport for standard network access and System Area Networks using InfiniBand transport for inter-process communication and high-performance clustering.
