World-class, non-outsourced technical support
Trusted as switch manufacturer for major server
OEM
MELLANOX: THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE CHIP
• Founded as a state-of-the-art silicon chip (ASIC) manufacturer
• Intelligence built directly onto our own chip
• Other switch vendors are forced to source expensive ASICs
from third parties such as Broadcom
• Mellanox uses own chip & passes savings to customers
DENSITY & SCALE
Most ports in smallest footprint
Unique form factors & port
counts
Deploy redundant ½ rack
switches side-by-side in 1U
Lowest power consumption
Use fixed switches to build
scalable, affordable networks
VALUE & FUTURE PROOF
Best price performance
(30-50% better $ per GbE)
40GbE for the price of 10GbE
Future Proof 10GbE w/
25GbE/40GbE capability
100GbE uplinks – 2.5 times
better than 40GbE due to
fewer cables
PERFORMANCE
Predictable Performance
Fair throughput for all ports
Never drop packets
Lowest Latency
Expedited delivery using
cut through vs. store &
forward
Sales Opportunities
Unique Capability
MAXIMIZE THE NETWORK
• Future-proof with 40/100GbE technology built-in
• Maximize datacenter connectivity ROI through:
Density, Scale, Performance
OPEN THE NETWORK
• Leverage new technologies that increase
functionality, investment & ROI
• Freedom from vendor lock-in

Main Benefits
Mellanox designs &
builds intelligent ASICs
that power switches,
adapters,
& cables
FLASH STORAGE
Fast data access for block and
file storage – fast interconnects
prevent network being the
bottleneck
SCALE-OUT STORAGE
Combines compute & storage,
easier to manage & lowers cost –
top of rack switch with density at
lower price point most attractive
MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT
Video streaming & post-
production on 4k/8k workflows –
needs extreme high bandwidth
to support real-time frame-rates
VIRTUALIZATION
Eliminates under-utilization while
increasing flexibility – Mellanox offers
seamless workload mobility and VM
routing while removing L2 boundaries
CLOUD
Create economies of scale
through shared services – open
switch platform with fairness
best for software-defined DC.
BIG DATA
Improved analytics for better
business decisions – needs
non-blocking architecture to
speed data ingestion.
