“The IS5000 switch family with FabricIT fabric management software offers a new level of provisioning flexibility without sacrificing system performance. The scalability of the new switch systems helps data center managers fully optimize their fabrics to meet the demanding requirements in today's dynamic computing environment such as on-demand and cloud computing,” said Jie Wu, Research Director, Technical Computing at IDC. “Today’s announcement indicates that Mellanox is poised at the forefront of intelligent data center fabric management and performance by continuously rolling out new products to address the emerging market demands.”

Mellanox’s world leading family of IS5000 InfiniBand switch systems provides the following benefits:

• Comprehensive family of un-managed and managed edge switches and director-class modular switches, ideal for deployments of any size with the ability to scale as you grow
• Industry-leading switching capacities scaling from 2.88Tb/s to 51.8 Tb/s of fully non-blocking bandwidth in a single enclosure with support for all network topologies ranging from Fat-Tree, Mach, 3D-Torus, etc.
• The world’s lowest port-to-port switching latency of 100ns for 36-port switches and 300ns for modular switches (108-648 ports) providing 25-45 percent better latency than other comparable switches
• Most reliable and highly available systems
  • Redundant components such as fans, power supplies and management modules and support for automatic component and system failover providing industry-leading Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
  • Real time monitoring and correction for network congestion and automatic path failover ensuring applications receive uninterrupted connectivity under extreme traffic conditions
  • Extended end-to-end system validation including cables providing highest system uptime and maximum return-on-investment
• Up to four times higher scalability for multicast operations than other solutions
• Powerful embedded processors to run feature-rich FabricIT fabric management software providing ease of deployment, maintenance, trouble shooting and optimization
  • Delivers maximum system productivity and efficiency
• Large switching capacities and the ability to carry compute and storage traffic on a common converged fabric enables the creation of power and cost-efficient green HPC clusters and data centers

“Mellanox’s comprehensive end-to-end 40Gb/s connectivity solution of switches, fabric management, and adapters provide the highest return on investment by delivering superior bandwidth and latency performance, density and ease of use that enables data centers to operate systems at any scale while reducing operational costs and infrastructure complexity,” said Sanjay Manney, director of product marketing at Mellanox Technologies. “Mellanox IS5000 InfiniBand switch systems provide the needed capabilities for the highest scalability, reliability and future growth, and can carry converged traffic with the combination of assured bandwidth and granular quality of service.”
