Huawei believes high-speed networks are the driving force for moving data centers to the cloud to meet ever-increasing cloud computing and big data requirements. The new EDR InfiniBand switch targets high-performance computing (HPC), cloud data centers, and real-time financial transaction applications. It is ideal for high bandwidth and low latency applications because it supports up to 100 Gbps bandwidth and 90 ns latency. Featuring virtual protocol interconnect (VPI) and remote direct memory access (RDMA), the solution can dramatically improve data center network performance, and reduce TCO and infrastructure complexity.
Zhang Xiaohua, General Manager of Huawei Blade Servers, said, "Mellanox is one of our important partners. This launch of the InfiniBand EDR 100 Gbps switch solution based on Huawei E9000 blade servers will bring customers higher network performance and dramatically improve the performance and efficiency of network-sensitive applications. With years of continuous innovation, Huawei E9000 blade servers will continue to provide superior performance and reliability and offer more diversified and competitive network solutions for customers."
Liu Tong, Senior Director of Mellanox Asia-Pacific and China Markets, said, "Mellanox has been continuously providing efficient and intelligent network interconnect solutions for data centers, while Huawei keeps improving its overall data center solutions through unrelenting innovation. We believe Huawei E9000 blade servers and Mellanox 100 Gbps networks are a perfect match for building highly-efficient data centers."
