SAN FRANCISCO--BUSINESS WIRE--VMworld 2010
“With a high-performance, efficient interconnect,
data center managers can migrate VMs to available servers faster,
allowing them to meet stringent Service Level Agreements, and also
reduce infrastructure costs and power.”
Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. NASDAQ:MLNXTASE:MLNX, a leading
supplier of high-performance, end-to-end connectivity solutions for data
center servers and storage systems, today announced that it will
demonstrate record performance benchmarks of VM migration with vSphere
vMotion on top of Mellanox ConnectX-2 EN 40 Gigabit Ethernet adapters
during VMworld 2010. The benchmark results using 40GbE show more than
200 percent improvement in migration time over 10GbE and a 10x
performance improvement over 1GbE. The demonstration showcases
Mellanox’s Ethernet performance leadership in providing connectivity
solutions to private and public cloud infrastructure.
“Large virtualized environments like those found in cloud computing are
increasing the performance requirements on the I/O for applications such
as VM migration,” said John Monson, vice president of marketing at
Mellanox Technologies. “With a high-performance, efficient interconnect,
data center managers can migrate VMs to available servers faster,
allowing them to meet stringent Service Level Agreements, and also
reduce infrastructure costs and power.”
Mellanox is the first company to demonstrate VM migration at 40Gb/s.
ConnectX-2 EN 40GigE adapters are backwards compatible with 10GigE
fabrics and are interoperable with available 10GigE and upcoming 40GigE
switches from major switch OEMs.
