More Than Twenty of the World’s Largest,
High-Speed, Smart Modular Switch Systems Are Being Delivered to
Leading Data Centers in The First Quarter of 2019, Demonstrating
the Growing Demand for 200G InfiniBand Across Many Application
Domains
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier
of high-performance, end-to-end smart interconnect solutions for
data center servers and storage systems, today announced that its
200 Gigabit HDR InfiniBand technology and solutions have set new
performance records, delivering leading efficiency and scalability
to high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, cloud,
storage and other data intensive applications. HDR InfiniBand
shipments began in the fourth quarter of 2018 connecting more than
ten thousand end-points. In the first quarter of 2019, HDR
InfiniBand will connect multiple tens-of-thousand compute and
storage end-points in supercomputing, hyperscale and cloud
datacenters around the globe. Furthermore, during the first quarter
of 2019, more than twenty of the world’s largest high-speed smart
modular switch systems are being delivered to multiple data
centers, demonstrating the growing demand for the fastest
InfiniBand solutions across many application domains.
“The innovations built into our 200G HDR InfiniBand solutions,
the performance advantages and the in-network computing
acceleration engines, make HDR InfiniBand the
interconnect-of-choice for the world’s leading compute and storage
infrastructures. We began shipping it to multiple customers in
2018, and we continue to see strong momentum for HDR InfiniBand
across all geographies,” said Amir Prescher, senior vice president,
end-user sales and business development at Mellanox Technologies.
“The world-wide strategic race to Exascale supercomputing, the
exponential growth in data we collect and need to analyze, and the
new performance levels needed to support new scientific
investigations and innovative product designs, all require the
fastest and most advanced HDR InfiniBand interconnect technology.
HDR InfiniBand solutions enable breakthrough performance levels and
deliver the highest return on investment, enabling the next
generation of the world’s leading supercomputers, hyperscale,
Artificial Intelligence, cloud and enterprise datacenters.”
The HDR InfiniBand Quantum CS8500 Modular Switch system provides
800 ports of 200 gigabit per second data throughput per direction
(or 400 gigabit of full bi-directional data throughput), or 1600
ports of 100 gigabit per second data throughout per direction (or
200 gigabit of full bi-directional data throughput) switching
capacity, making it the world’s fastest high-speed smart switch
system. Quantum CS8500 enables a total of 320 terabit per second
switching capacity, 1.4 to 2.5 times higher compared to alternative
products –equivalent to sending the content of 800 Ultra Definition
Blu-Ray discs every second.
The HDR 200G InfiniBand in-network computing acceleration
engines, including the Mellanox Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation
and Reduction Protocol (SHARP™), and other Message Passing
Interface (MPI) offloads, provide the highest performance and
scalability. For High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) applications, Mellanox SHARP improves the data
aggregation operations by 3 times compared to CPU-based
implementations, resulting in accelerating scientific simulations,
data analysis and AI deep learning training applications.
The HDR InfiniBand adapters deliver the highest throughput and
message rate in the industry, demonstrating the ability to send 215
million messages per second into the network, 1.5 times better
compared to EDR InfiniBand.
The higher switch density of the HDR InfiniBand Quantum™ switch
enables Mellanox users to optimize their use of space and power,
and to maximize their data center return-on-investment. For
departmental-scale implementations, a single Quantum QM8700 switch
connects 80 servers reflecting 1.7 times higher than competitive
products. For enterprise-scale, a 2-layer Quantum switch topology
connects 3200 servers which is 2.8 times higher than competitive
products. For hyperscale, a 3-layer Quantum switch topology
connects 128,000 servers, or 4.6 times higher than competitive
products.
Mellanox HDR InfiniBand end-to-end solution, including
ConnectX-6 adapters, Quantum switches, the upcoming HDR BlueField
system-on-a-chip (SoC), and LinkX cables and transceivers, delivers
the best performance and scalability for HPC, cloud, artificial
intelligence, storage, and other applications, providing users with
the capabilities to enhance their research, discoveries and product
development. The HDR BlueField™ SoC will provide an optimized NVMe
storage performance, enhanced security capabilities and the ability
to offload user-defined algorithms from the main CPU to the
network, resulting in lower latency and higher data-center
efficiency. Mellanox InfiniBand solutions supports all compute
architectures, with guaranteed backward and forward compatibility.
