Why Partner with Mellanox

InfiniBand is hot. Cluster computing and virtualization are fast becoming the standard model for data center computing in both HPC and enterprise markets. With up to 40Gb/s bandwidth and less than one microsecond latency, InfiniBand blows away other technologies and makes the most of investments in computing horsepower and storage space.
