Medallia Deploys Mellanox Ethernet Solutions to Supercharge Real-Time Analytics and Achieve the Efficiency of Hyperscale Infrastructure

Medallia Deploys Mellanox Ethernet Solutions to Supercharge Real-Time Analytics and Achieve the Efficiency of Hyperscale Infrastructure Medallia Future-Proofs Data Center Leveraging Next Generation 100GbE Open Composable Network Solutions

SUNNYVALE, CA and YOKNEAM, ISRAEL - July 27, 2016 - Mellanox(r) Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced that Medallia, the leading Customer Experience Management (CEM) provider, has chosen Mellanox Open Composable Network (OCN) Ethernet devices for its next generation of 100GbE end-to-end solution. With the addition of Mellanox OCN architecture and devices, Medallia can now seamlessly upgrade its current 40/100GbE data center to 50/100 GbE as the company reaches Hyperscale Infrastructure efficiency, achieves unprecedented throughput and latency, and delivers lightning-fast, rock-solid application performance for its customers.

"Medallia's software makes it possible for a company to put the voice of the customer into every one of its business decisions by pumping customer experience feedback throughout an organization in real time," said Thorvald Natvig, lead architect, Medallia. "It's a massive undertaking that requires cutting-edge computing power. Today, as many as 650,000 active users are on our system regularly. Those users all make real-time calculations, made possible by distributed in-memory analytics across hundreds of terabytes of data. This level of computing power is why Medallia has always been well ahead of the curve in terms of real-time, big data analytics and data-center efficiency."

As part of its mission to help the world's leading brands hardwire their organizations with customer feedback and drive stronger alignment, agility and business performance, Medallia selected Spectrum(tm) SN2700 Open Ethernet(tm) switches, ConnectX(r)-4 NICs and LinkX(r) cables from the Mellanox OCN Ethernet portfolio. Mellanox OCN solutions supply the efficient network fabric that is essential to handling the large amount of east-west traffic generated from inter-container communication, storage access, and scale-out storage cluster operations. The Mellanox OCN architecture also allows Medallia to enjoy the best of both worlds by continuing to use the Cumulus Linux switch operating system that simplifies its infrastructure management, and by benefitting from the performance and efficiency boost provided by the Spectrum switches.

"Our partnership with Mellanox ensures that the platform will continue to operate and scale with incredible efficiency," Natvig said. "The combination of Cumulus Linux and Mellanox Spectrum switches will enable us to attain hyperscale infrastructure efficiencies for our 100GbE-generation system and operate one of the most cutting-edge data centers in the world."

"When our customers use Cumulus Linux, they can simply run an apples-to-apples comparison between Spectrum and the alternative ASIC. Medallia did exactly that, identified the differences, and chose Spectrum. The Medallia team is an excellent example for an intelligent network team that leveraged the power of Open Ethernet to achieve maximum cost-effectiveness. Medallia was able to choose the right component at every possible level; ASIC, platform, and NOS," said Amit Katz, vice president worldwide Ethernet switch sales, Mellanox. "Recently, more people are realizing that the Tolly reporthttp://www.mellanox.com/tolly/ we have published is not a lab experiment, but concrete evidence of the true differences between Spectrum and the alternative."

The Spectrum SN2700 switch delivers the highest 100GbE performance and easily addresses the increased demands of today's data center environments. Spectrum provides customers with an ideal spine and top-of-rack (ToR) solution for maximum flexibility, and includes port speeds covering 10Gb/s to 100 Gb/s per port and port density, while enabling full rack connectivity to any server at any speed. Powered by the Spectrum ASIC and packed with 32 ports running at 100GbE, Spectrum offers massive switching capacity of 6.4Tb/s with breakthrough 4.77Bpps processing capacity in a compact 1RU form factor.

Mellanox Simplifies RDMA Deployments with Enhanced RoCE Software

Mellanox Simplifies RDMA Deployments with Enhanced RoCE Software

Latest Software Delivers New Levels of RDMA Performance on Ordinary Ethernet Networks

SUNNYVALE, CA and YOKNEAM, ISRAEL - July 13, 2016 - Mellanox(r) Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX), a leading supplier of high performance cloud and storage networking solutions, today announced the availability of new software drivers for RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet). The new drivers are designed to simplify RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) deployments on Ethernet networks and enable high-end performance using RoCE, without requiring the network to be configured for lossless operation. This enables cloud, storage, and enterprise customers to deploy RoCE more quickly and easily while accelerating application performance, improving infrastructure efficiency and reducing cost.

“RoCE has built-in error recovery mechanisms and while a lossless network has never been a strict requirement, customers typically configure their networks to prevent packet loss and ensure the best performance,” said Michael Kagan, chief technology officer, Mellanox. “Now, updated software for our adapters enables RoCE to be resilient to packet loss and maintain high throughput for ordinary Ethernet networks. The new software supports our latest 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100 Gb/s Ethernet adapters and is completely compatible with the RoCE specification. This new software eliminates any special lossy network configuration requirements.”

“Microsoft deploys an advanced datacenter infrastructure delivering an enterprise-grade intelligent cloud platform to our customers,” said Albert Greenberg, Distinguished Engineer, Network Development, Microsoft Corp. “We’re encouraged to see the continued development and evolution of the RoCE technology. RoCE is an example of one of the advanced networking solutions that helps enable Microsoft Azure to deliver cloud services to our customers with superb flexibility, performance, and reliability.”

RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is a mechanism that provides highly efficient data transfer with very low latencies on Ethernet networks. RoCE can be implemented in hardware as well as in software. Soft-RoCE is the open source software implementation of the RoCE standard and compatible with any ordinary Ethernet network cards that lack hardware support for RDMA.

“All Ethernet RDMA protocols perform best without packet loss, but not all IT managers are ready to configure their networks to be lossless,” said Brad Casemore, research director for datacenter networks, IDC. “As customers implement Big Data and real-time analytics, new database applications, software defined and flash-based storage - and as they adopt 25, 50, and 100 Gb/s Ethernet - they will be looking at how technologies such as RoCE can meet their requirements for faster application performance and more efficient infrastructure utilization.”

Mellanox is already a market leader in end-to-end 25, 50, and 100 Gb/s Ethernet solutions, leading the market both with the ConnectX-4 and ConnectX-4 Lx adapters and the Spectrum family of Ethernet switches. Mellanox adapters and switches deliver the highest throughput, lowest latency, and lowest power consumption at 25, 50, and 100 Gb/s Ethernet speeds. The Spectrum Ethernet switches ensure fair allocation of bandwidth across any configuration of ports, handle congestion more effectively and eliminate avoidable packet loss at all packet sizes.

The enhanced resilient RoCE software is available today for the Mellanox ConnectX-4 25, 50, and 100 Gb/s Ethernet adapters. These adapters have been qualified by major OEMs in advanced server platforms available today.
