In this deck, Mellanox announces the ConnectX-5 adapter for high performance communications. “The new ConnectX-5 100G adapter further enables high performance, data analytics, deep learning, storage, Web 2.0 and more applications to perform data-related algorithms on the network to achieve the highest system performance and utilization,” said Gilad Shainer, vice president, marketing at Mellanox Technologies. “Today, scalable compute and storage systems suffer from data bottlenecks that limit research, product development, and constrain application services. ConnectX-5 will help unleash business potential with faster, more effective, real-time data processing and analytics. With its smart offloading, ConnectX-5 will enable dramatic increases in CPU, GPU and FPGA performance that will enhance effectiveness and maximize the return on data centers’ investment.” Learn more: http://mellanox.com Watch the video presentation: http://wp.me/p3RLHQ-fll
