1 Mellanox Cloud and Database Acceleration Solution over Windows Server 2012 Direct Increased Performance, Scaling and Resiliency July 2012 Motti Beck, Director, Enterprise Market Development

2 Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and Direct New class of enterprise file storage File Client File Server Low latency, high throughout, low CPU overhead (50% lower versus Ethernet) Application User Kernel Fibre Channel replacement at a lower cost and higher performance Client Server Leverages Windows Server 2012 integrated Mellanox Ethernet and InfiniBand Network w/ support Network w/ support NTFS SCSI Accelerates Microsoft HyperV- and SQL- solutions Adapter Adapter Disk 10X Performance Improvement Over 10GbE* *Preliminary results based on Windows Server 2012 RC 2012 MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES 2

3 What is? Remote Direct Memory Access Protocol Accelerated delivery model which works by allowing application software to bypass most layers of software and communicate directly with the hardware Client Memory Memory File Server benefits Low latency High throughput Zero copy capability OS / Stack bypass Client Direct Server Direct Mellanox based Interconnects InfiniBand RoCE: over Converged Ethernet NDKPI NDKPI Ethernet or InfiniBand 2012 MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES 3

4 Direct over InfiniBand and RoCE User Client 1 Application Unchanged API Memory 4 Memory File Server 1. Application (Hyper-V, SQL Server) does not need to change. Kernel Client 2 Server 2. client makes the decision to use Direct at run time 2 Direct NDKPI Direct NDKPI 33. NDKPI provides a much thinner layer than TCP/IP Remote Direct Memory Access performed by the network interfaces. RoCE and/or InfiniBand 2012 MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES 4

5 Mellanox End-to-End VPI Solution Mellanox provides end-to-end InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity solutions (adapters, switches, cables) Connecting data center servers and storage Up to 56Gb/s InfiniBand and 40Gb/s Ethernet per port Low latency, Low CPU overhead, InfiniBand to Ethernet Gateways for seamless operation Windows Server 2012 exposes the great value of Mellanox Interconnect Solution for storage traffic, virtualization and low latency InfiniBand and Ethernet (with RoCE) integration Highest Efficiency, Performance and return on investment 2012 MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES 5
