NVIDIA Networking Solutions for the Public Sector

The Mellanox Spectrum® Ethernet Switch product family includes a broad portfolio of Top-of-Rack and aggregation switches. Mellanox Spectrum Ethernet switches come in flexible form-factors with 16 to 128 physical ports supporting 1GbE through 400GbE. Based on ground-breaking silicon technology that is optimized for performance and scale, Spectrum switches are ideal to build high performance, cost-effective and efficient Cloud Data Center Networks, Ethernet Storage Fabric, and Deep Learning Interconnects.

The industry-leading Mellanox ConnectX® family of intelligent data-center network adapters offers the broadest and most advanced hardware offloads, which enable the highest ROI and lowest TCO for hyperscale, public and private clouds, storage, machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data and telco platforms.

Mellanox LinkX cables and transceivers make 100Gb/s deployments as easy and as universal as 10Gb/s links. Because Mellanox offers one of industry’s broadest portfolio of 10, 25, 40, 50,100, 200 and 400Gb/s Direct Attach Copper cables (DACs), Copper Splitter cables, Active Optical Cables (AOCs) and Transceivers, every data center reach from 0.5m to 10km is supported. To maximize system performance. Mellanox tests every product in an end-to-end environment assuring a Bit Error Rate of less than 1E-15. A BER of 1E-15 is 1000x better than many competitors.

Mellanox LinkX Ethernet DACs, AOCs and Optical Transceivers meet or exceed all of the IEEE 802.3xx industry standards for 1G, 10G, 25G, 50G and 100G products.

NVIDIA Mellanox smart InfiniBand switch systems deliver the highest performance and port density for high performance computing (HPC), AI, Web 2.0, big data, clouds, and enterprise data centers. Support for 36 to 800-port configurations at up to 200Gb/s per port, allows compute clusters and converged data centers to operate at any scale, reducing operational costs and infrastructure complexity.

Accelerating the majority of the world’s TOP500 supercomputers, innovative InfiniBand In-Network Computing technologies, such as Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP)™ and novel quality of service (QOS) and congestion control, provide the highest performance, scalability and CPU utilization.

Leveraging faster speeds and innovative In-Network Computing, Mellanox InfiniBand smart adapters achieve extreme performance and scale, lowering cost per operation and increasing ROI for high performance computing, machine learning, advanced storage, clustered databases, low-latency embedded I/O applications, and more.

Mellanox LinkX cables and transceivers are designed to maximize the performance of High Performance Computing networks, requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between compute nodes and switch nodes. To assure superior system performance, Mellanox tests every product in an end-to-end environment to a Bit Error Rate of less than 1E-15 which is 1,000x better than competitors.

DACs and AOCs enable all links to be same exact length - important in HPC applications where signal time-of-flight is important design concern. DAC is available up to 7m. AOCs are available in <30m OM2 fiber lowest-cost lengths; OM3/OM4 multimode to 100m and data rates of QDR(40G), FDR10(40G), FDR(56G), EDR(100G) and new in 2017 HDR100 (100G) and HDR (200G).

What Just Happened® (WJH) is an advanced streaming telemetry technology that provides real time visibility into problems in the network. WJH goes beyond conventional telemetry solutions by providing actionable details on abnormal network behavior. Traditional solutions try to extrapolate root causes of network issues by analyzing network counters and statistical packet sampling. WJH eliminates the guess work from network troubleshooting.
