Business Wire
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 the
Mellanox ConnectX-5 Ethernet Adapter IC has received The Linley
Group’s Analyst Choice Award for “Best Networking Chip” in
2017.
The ConnectX-5 industry-leading dual port 10, 25, 40, 50 and
100Gb/s Ethernet adapter has set new performance records,
delivering as low as 700ns latency and up to 140 million packets
per second (Mpps) of forwarding message rate running the open
source Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). ConnectX-5 integrates a
programmable flow-based Ethernet switch subsystem, an embedded PCIe
Gen4 switch and Mellanox’s Multi-Host technology thereby enabling
network connectivity with up to 4 hosts on a single adapter for
improved data center total cost of ownership. ConnectX-5
acceleration engines, such as remote direct memory access (RDMA),
NVMe-over-Fabrics, open virtual switching (OVS), routing,
load-balancing and advanced DPDK offloads deliver world-leading
performance for the cloud, enterprise data center, Web2.0, deep
learning, database, financial applications and more.
“We perform a rigorous review of the networking silicon reaching
production each year, and the Mellanox ConnectX-5 EN stands out as
the most feature-rich and high performance Ethernet adapter
silicon,” said Bob Wheeler, principal analyst at The Linley Group.
“Mellanox has consistently set a high bar when it comes to
maximizing server networking efficiency, and they are delivering
unique offloads for the fast-growing NVMe over Fabrics market.”
“We are proud to be the recipient of this year’s Analyst Choice
Award for the ConnectX-5 Ethernet adapter,” said Yael Shenhav, vice
president, product marketing, Mellanox Technologies. “Mellanox has
consistently innovated with our market-leading adapter
technologies, each generation offering higher throughputs, lower
latencies and more of the accelerations our customers need to
maximize their data center’s potential and improve their total cost
of ownership.”
The ConnectX family of network adapters support both Ethernet
and InfiniBand, offering unmatched RDMA features and capabilities
to future-proof data center investments. With full support for RDMA
over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and advanced tunneling offloads such
as VxLAN, NVGRE and Geneve, ConnectX enables servers and appliances
to support the latest networking and storage protocols.
The Linley Group Analysts' Choice Awards recognize the top
semiconductor products of 2017 in several categories, including
embedded processors, server processors, networking chips, and
related technology. To choose each winner, The Linley Group’s team
of technology analysts gather to discuss the merits of the top
offerings that entered production in 2017. They evaluate the
combined advantages in power, performance, features, and cost of
each device for their target end application and market.
