11 11 Mellanox Technologies To see InfiniBand s usage more than double on the TOP5 in six months is a leading indicator of the demand for Mellanox s industry-standard, highperformance, low-latency interconnect in place of proprietary and lower performance solutions. We believe these same interconnect trends flow into enterprise data centers that face similar challenges with various applications including financial, clustered database, CAE, EDA, digital content creation, utility computing, retail, and supply and demand management. The increasing usage of Mellanox s products is based on industry-leading price/performance as an interconnect for server and storage systems, proven scalability on multi-thousand node clusters, and compatibility with a mature ecosystem of software support. Eyal Waldman, president and CEO of Mellanox Technologies
