of xed form factor switches, ranging from 16 through 128 ports and with
speeds from 1Gb/s to 400Gb/s, allowing the construction of purpose-built
data centers at any scale with any desired blocking ratio. This enables
network and data center managers to design and implement a cost-effective
switch fabrics based on the “pay-as-you-grow” principle. Thus a fabric

consisting of a few servers can gradually expand to include hundreds of
thousands of servers.

Incorporating SDN attributes, the Mellanox Ethernet solution rewards
the data center administrator with tools that provide a clean, simple and
exible view, and orchestration capabilities for the infrastructure. The result
is an easily accessible framework that provides the data center applications
with utmost elasticity.
