Mellanox Launches First 10Gb/s Server I/O Module

Market Wire, April, 2005

INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM -- Mellanox(TM) Technologies Ltd, the leader in performance business computing interconnects, today launched the world's first dual-port 10Gb/s Server I/O Module (SIOM) Adapter. Based on high performance PCI Express* interconnect technology, Mellanox's SIOM supports closed-chassis, hot-plug, I/O-adapter removal and insertion. This capability expands the flexibility and serviceability of InfiniBand server clusters.

In addition, SIOM provides dedicated cooling, single-bulk power supply, and a robust form factor -- all contributing to highly reliable InfiniBand fabrics for server-to-server and server-to-storage applications.

"Today's mission-critical data center and compute intensive applications demand InfiniBand's 10Gb/s world-class interconnect performance," said Yuval Leader, Vice President of System Solutions for Mellanox Technologies. "Add to this SIOM's versatility and reliability, and IT Managers now have a complete, worry-free, interconnect solution for performance server and storage clustering over InfiniBand."

SIOM Technology Demonstration

The InfiniBand SIOM adapter will be demonstrated together with a SIOM-based server platform from IWILL, a leader in the design, manufacturing and deployment of workstation and server motherboard platforms. This demonstration will take place in IWILL's exhibition booth at three international Intel Developer Forums taking place in Tokyo, Taiwan and Beijing, from April 7 through 15. In addition, the InfiniBand SIOM module can be seen at Mellanox's exhibition booth (H06) at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing starting on April 14.
