SC12 -- Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX; TASE: MLNX),
a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect
solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced
that its recently announced next-generation InfiniBand adapter,
Connect-IB, achieved world-record performance results, enabling the
creation of highly scalable server and storage connected
infrastructures. The Connect-IB dual-port 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand adapter
achieves the industry’s highest throughput of more than 100Gb/s
utilizing PCI Express 3.0 x16 and over 135 million messages per second,
4.5X higher than previous or competing solutions. These performance
capabilities are critical to High-Performance Computing (HPC), Web 2.0,
Cloud, Big Data and financial applications which require a high rate of
message communication in order to deliver faster results and provide a
competitive advantage to their users.
