Products

Mellanox provides InfiniBand and Ethernet adapters to server, storage, communications infrastructure and embedded systems OEMs as ICs or standard card form factors with PCI-X or PCI Express interfaces. Mellanox’s adapter cards are incorporated into OEM server and storage systems to provide InfiniBand or Ethernet connectivity. Our latest 4th generation adapter and cards (ConnectX-2® product family) also support the Ethernet interconnect standard in addition to InfiniBand. The company also supports the majority of server operating systems. Mellanox’s InfiniBand switch ICs are used by server, storage, communications infrastructure and embedded systems OEMs to create switching equipment that is at the core of InfiniBand fabrics. Mellanox also provides switch systems from 36 to 648 ports in a single enclosure. To deploy an InfiniBand fabric, any number of server or storage systems that contain an adapter can be connected to an InfiniBand-based communications infrastructure system such as an InfiniBand switch. Mellanox’s gateway ICs and systems support bridging capabilities from InfiniBand to Ethernet and Fibre Channel, and from Ethernet to Fibre Channel.
