Mellanox Introduces ECF Technology To Boost the Performance of Its Etherent Switches

Understanding the relevance of Ethernet in the data centres Mellanox an established name in the world of Ethernet Interconnect Solution has introduced Ethernet Cloud Fabric Technology (ECF) in the fleet of new switches developed by it.  The use of new technology will facilitate in improving the data transfer speed which at the present is 100/200/400 Gb/s, by making use of existing Spectrum-2 Ethernet switches. 

By making use of new technology the data centres will be able to forward the data at the speed of 8.33 billion packets per second by making use of Ethernet Storage Fabric technology. The use of new technology helps in improving the processing of critical applications including machine learning, artifical intelligence and edge computing. Moving ahead, the new technology offers robust solution to public Ethernet platforms and network operating systems like Mellanox Onyx, Cumulus Linux, etc. In short, it can be said that the introduction of new ECF technology will further enhance the functionality of Mellanox’s product.

Understanding the basic difference between Mellanox’s Spectrum 2 Family and Ethernet Cloud Fabric Technology: The Spectrum 2 Family Ethernet switches offered by the Mellanox are based on ASICs that are high performing. The use of these switches allows the data centres to minimize the power consumption, enjoy low latency rate, thus strengthening the total cost of ownership. On the other side the use of later technology allows the data centres to optimize their network and speed the critical workloads. The switches embellished with ECF technology are offered in spine, super-spine and leaf factors.

More about Ethernet Cloud Fabric Technology: The use of new technology is believed to boost the functionality of existing Spectrum Ethernet switches that are being used by huge data centers throughout the world. The use of new feature will facilitate the IT managers to improve the performance and ability of data centers from 10GbE and higher, and smoothly and economically shift from 10 to 25, 50 and 100 Gb/s speeds without any complexity.

The other features of this new feature are referred below:

1. Data transfer at the speed of 8.33 billion packets per second;

2. 42 MB Monolithic and fully shared packet buffer to offer high performance bandwith with low latency;

3. Half a million flexible forwarding entries for supporting Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks;

4. 128 way ECMT;

5. Network Address Translation based on Hardware;

6. 500K+Access Control List entries for micro segmentation and cloud based whitelist policies;

7. 500K+VXLAN tunnels, 10K+VXLAN VTEPs to offer free network virtualization.

The switches with new technical feature offered are believed to be available by Mellanox UK Reseller in coming months. 

Extending the reach of Mellanox Products

There is a myth among most of the people that the products like switches, adapter cards, data cables, etc, offered by the renowned group Mellanox can be used only by organizations dealing in the online business or outsourcing their products and services in the offshore markets. Surprisingly, this is not the real truth, these products can also be used by the organizations which are extended in the vast areas and deal with the huge data set. You will agree that the organizations like universities, companies manufacturing different types of products, etc have their operations not only extended in broad area but also across the vast area and have to deal with a huge data set.

Interestingly, keeping the requirements of such organizations in concern the leading supplier of these products has introduced MetroX TX6100 series that offer robust solutions for single location data center network expanded to an area up-to 10 km like the campus of a university, or metro network. Thus giving the new dimensions to a series of Mellanox’s product used for data sharing and transmission. The worth mentioning benefit of Mellanox MetroX is that it not only facilitates the smooth sharing of the huge data between the centres located within the particular location but also within the centres located between multiple sites, thus exploring the benefits and reach of InfiniBand RDMA and Ethernet RoCE across the locally located data centers and storage clusters.

The benefits of Mellanox MetroX TX6100 Series are referred below

1. Cost effective, less power, and long haul solutions as compared to InfiniBand or Ethernet fabric;

2. Executes RDMA beyond the distant site;

3. Easy to Manage; and

4. Extends the range of RDMA networks in the range of 10 km over dark fiber.

The key features of Mellanox MetroX TX6100 can be summarized as follows:

1. 6 Long-haul (40Gb/s) ports in a 1U system

2. Up to 240Gb/s long-haul aggregate data

3. 6 Downlink (56Gb/s) VPI ports

4. Compliant with IBTA 1.2.1 and 1.3

5. 1 Virtual Lanes for QoS applications

6. Compliant with Mellanox LR4 QSFP+ 40Gb/s transceivers

7. Redundant power supplies and fan drawers

On the basis of the above description it can be said Mellanox offers not only robust solution for large business organizations but also for the organizations that have their operations extended within the fixed geographical area.

Mellanox Products: Satisfying The Requirements Of Open Ethernet

You have been regarding yourself as an internet and computer savvy that is capable of performing different tasks related with the use of internet on the computers at an ease without any complication. But, have you ever thought that how the whole process is carried out smoothly and how you are able to access the whole data on your devices within the span of a few minutes? Well, if this question is asked from you, then undoubtedly your answer will be through the internet, this answer is although true to a huge extent.

Interestingly, an answer to the question in simple words can be with the help of cables, adapters, and switches that facilitate the smooth and instant delivery of the data to their desired locations. In-fact, it would not be wrong to say, that these items are the key players which offer a robust solution to different types of Ethernet and Infiniband issues. It would be interesting to know that in the current scenario when the internet has become the lifeline of people, the relevance of these resources has increased to a huge extent for the data centres. Because, today online business has become the trend of among the people and as the business explores, the data centres need to explore the hardware without making any compromise with the data delivery process of their network.

This has gradually increased the need of the Ethernet switches and cables that are able to cope with the increasing demand of the data centre. Going through this necessity nowadays the trend of open Ethernet is gaining popularity across the world at high speed. This facilitates the data centres to buy the switches, cables, and other items from the suppliers like Mellanox Technologies, which is recognized for providing the qualitative products, thus providing high end solutions to Ethernet and Infiniband issues.   

The trend of open Ethernet facilitates the data centres to retain control on their network and make effective utilization of the available resources with more efficiency and increased return on investment. Furthermore, the open Ethernet architecture has an efficiency to support third party NMS packages and automation software, thus facilitating the data centre to step in the partnership with Mellanox Ethernet Technical Partner for smooth functioning of its network. In simple words it can be said that to enjoy the full benefit of the open Ethernet, it is imperative to install that switches, cables and adapters that are compatible to its efficiency and at the same time deliver superior performance and port density, enabling the data centre to work efficiently by minimizing the operational cost and protecting the data failure. The use of these products facilitates the IT experts to develop a network for more then ten thousand nodes without any complexity.

In short it can be said that with changing requirements of the data centres, the existing Ethernet network will be replaced by the Open Etherent and its combination with high end products will play an incredible role in delivering the maximum performance. Along with this the Open Ethernet will provide the freedom and flexibility to use any type of software over Ethernet switches in accordance to high speed data transmission of the future.
