Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX), a leading supplier
of high performance cloud and storage networking solutions, today
announced support for Cumulus® Linux® 3.1 on four new 10/25/50/100
Gb/s Ethernet switch platforms. The announcement enables Mellanox
to accelerate the adoption of Open Networking for customers by
offering a complete end-to-end solution of Spectrum™-based Ethernet
switches that are supported by Cumulus Linux, the best-in-class
Open Network Operating System.
“Customers aspiring to build modern data centers for scale out
applications can now standardize their entire switching
infrastructure on Mellanox’s Spectrum-based Ethernet switches,”
said Amit Katz, vice president worldwide Ethernet switch sales,
Mellanox Technologies. “The complete solution now delivers
unmatched predictability, packet performance, and the ability to
achieve Web-scale IT efficiencies.”
“Open is the industry standard in modern infrastructure builds,”
said William Choe, VP of Products and Alliances, Cumulus Networks.
“Together with Mellanox’s range of new switches, Cumulus Linux 3.1
is helping accelerate customers’ move to Web-scale IT by providing
them with the choice and agility to create infrastructure that
works for them.”
“With 2.5 times the bandwidth and a nominal price premium over
10 Gigabit Ethernet, 25 Gigabit Ethernet is poised to exceed ten
million annual server-class connections within the next four
years,” said Seamus Crehan, president, Crehan Research. “I predict
the uptick in 25 Gigabit Ethernet adoption will be significantly
faster than it was for either 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Gigabit
Ethernet technologies as server vendors introduce 25 Gigabit
Ethernet options on numerous existing and upcoming platforms.”
As the speed of servers increase, and flash-based storage has
become mainstream, a growing number of server vendors are offering
25 Gigabit Ethernet NICs as the default I/O option in their
servers. In addition to providing future proof connectivity, this
enables their customers to avoid the cost and complexity of
bundling multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The Mellanox
SN2410 is the first generally available switch with native 25
Gigabit Ethernet ports that is able to connect 25GbE servers
without requiring breakout cables. Powered by Mellanox’s
Spectrum ASIC, the SN2410 offers tremendous throughput of 4Tb/s and
with a landmark packet rate 2.98 Bpps switching capacity, all in a
compact 1RU form factor.
Another first in the Open Ethernet space, the Mellanox SN2410B
switch with Cumulus Linux allows customers with 10GbE attached
servers to benefit from high capacity 100GbE inter-switch
connectivity. By providing 2.5 times the bandwidth per uplink
compared to traditional 10/40GbE switches, the SN2410B reduces
cable complexity and facilitates significant cost savings by
requiring 2.5 times fewer cables, transceivers, and aggregation
(spine) switch ports. This high-speed switch is extremely
affordable, with an MSRP that is half the cost of other 10/100
Gigabit Ethernet switch offerings.
The Ethernet switch product portfolio, with the Mellanox
Spectrum ASIC, are the only ultra-low latency switches that offer
10, 25, 50, or 100GbE speeds. The Cumulus Linux 3.1 release
includes several new data center networking features, including
Layer 3 multicast and congestion notification, that will convey
ultra-low latency 25 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet into markets
previously unserved by this class of high-performance switches.
These features offer significant improvements for the media and
entertainment industry where 4K and 8K video feeds are fast
becoming the norm. This is also important for networks within
the financial community who have the most to gain by leveraging the
lowest latency in the market.
Mellanox switches supported by Cumulus Linux 3.1 include the
100GbE SN2100 and SN2700; 40GbE SN2100B and SN2700B;
25G/100GbE SN2410 and 10G/ 100GbE SN2410B switches – all
of which deliver full line rate zero packet loss solutions.
