1 Introduction to Mellanox SX10XX/SX1X00 Systems

1.1 Overview

Mellanox Ethernet System Family delivers the highest performance and port density with a com-

plete chassis and fabric management solution enabling converged data centers to operate at any

scale while reducing operational costs and infrastructure complexity. This family includes a

broad portfolio of Top-of-Rack (TOR) systems that range from 12 to 64 ports, and support 10/40/

56Gb/s per port. These systems allow IT managers to build cost-effective and scalable system

fabrics for small to large clusters up to 10's-of-thousands of nodes.

Mellanox makes fabric management as easy as it can by providing the lowest latency and highest

bandwidth. This allows IT managers to deal with serving the company's business needs, while

solving typical networking issues such as congestion and the inefficiencies generated by adding

unnecessary rules and limitations when the network resources are sufficient.
