M-series Switches Enable Ethernet Networks
Optimized for All Types and Tiers of Storage
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 the
Mellanox Spectrum Ethernet Switch has been selected by HPE to power
their StoreFabric M-series storage networking switches. The
solution delivers the world’s fastest and most efficient storage
network for the enterprise and cloud.
The HPE StoreFabric M-series switches are specifically optimized
for storage and bring unmatched performance and value. HPE’s
M-series product family offers a broad range of models with unique
form factors and flexible port configurations. Combined with
predictable performance, low latency and zero packet loss, HPE
brings an entire family of storage optimized fabrics to market
designed to meet the needs of the modern data center.
Spectrum is part of Mellanox’s Ethernet Storage Fabric (ESF)
solution, which combines container support for storage-aware
software with low latency, zero packet loss hardware to form the
ideal storage networking platform. ESF is the fastest and most
efficient Ethernet storage network available, using Mellanox
Spectrum switches and ConnectX adapters. It delivers performance,
efficiency, and storage optimizations unequaled by any other
Ethernet storage fabric. Switches and adapters are available in
unique form factors ideal for building storage and hyperconverged
infrastructure clusters, providing support for storage-specific
monitoring, management, and automation via integration with storage
arrays, storage management software, and other IT management
tools.
“We’re excited to announce this new family of Ethernet switches
specifically optimized for storage,” said Marty Lans, Senior
Director and GM, Storage Engineering, Connectivity, and Global
Interoperability at HPE. “The StoreFabric M-series switches
leverage Mellanox switch technology to deliver the best possible
Ethernet storage networking performance with HPE Storage and Big
Data solutions. They also enhance the performance and manageability
of block, file and object storage solutions — plus hyperconverged
infrastructure — from HPE and HPE partners.”
“Storage Area Networks have delivered on the availability and
stability needed for the most demanding of workloads. There are no
architectural limitations to Ethernet-based storage networks, which
now surpass the price, performance, and flexibility of Fibre
Channel offerings,” said Stu Miniman, Senior Analyst at
Wikibon. “Around 80 percent of the capacity and all the data
growth are in non-block architectures, including file, object,
cloud, big data, machine learning, and hyperconverged
infrastructure. Mellanox’s high performance Ethernet Storage Fabric
solutions support block, file, and object storage, allowing
customers to deploy a standards-based Ethernet network capable of
handling compute and storage traffic, from the newest NVMe over
Fabrics arrays, to iSCSI storage, and deep archives.”
“The rise of a converged Ethernet Storage Fabric is inevitable,
due to the tremendous growth in data and new information-driven
workloads, and more simply because there is no Fibre Channel in the
cloud,” said Kevin Deierling, vice president of marketing, Mellanox
Technologies. “Shipments of high-speed Ethernet ports continue to
grow at a nearly 20 percent annually, while Fibre Channel ports
decline year after year. Enterprises and storage vendors like HPE
are embracing converged and hyperconverged Ethernet as a faster,
more flexible, and more economical way to network storage. Our
Ethernet Storage Fabric is optimized for efficient data access,
delivers unmatched storage intelligence, and provides three times
the performance at one third the price of Fibre Channel
offerings.”
“We are pleased to see HPE’s new family of Ethernet switches hit
the market,” said Christopher Moon, CTO, Summit Partners. “This new
solution for Ethernet-based storage networks combines the benefits
of HPE and Mellanox, and will allow us to build a network capable
of handling demanding compute and storage traffic for all types of
storage architectures and protocols. We now have the best possible
combination of price, performance and flexibility to network HPE
Storage, hyperconverged, and Big Data solutions.”
