Mellanox Technologies today announced its ConnectX 40Gb/s InfiniBand adapters have been selected for Landed-on-Motherboard (LOM) applications across TYAN’s leading family of S7017 server products, eliminating the need for separate add-in I/O cards. TYAN is a leading provider of performance- and power-optimized server boards, chassis, and rack and blade systems that target data center, high-performance computing, workstation, storage networks and standalone server environments.

“The TYAN S7017 is a 2-way solution that is exceptionally proficient in memory intensive and high-cluster IT infrastructures,” said James Sytwu, GM of the TYAN Business Unit of Mitac International Corp. “By integrating the Mellanox ConnectX 40Gb/s InfiniBand adapter, we can provide our customers with a performance-leading, energy-efficient solution that meets their current and future requirements.”

“Our ConnectX 40Gb/s InfiniBand LOM design win with TYAN demonstrates Mellanox’s industry-leading performance and I/O consolidation features,” said Wayne Augsburger, vice president of business development at Mellanox Technologies. “With outstanding performance, power efficiency, integration and feature-set, ConnectX-enabled servers and storage systems from TYAN are optimized for volume data center and high-performance computing market demands.”

ConnectX provides valuable data center infrastructure future-proofing benefits as it supports both 40Gb/s InfiniBand and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This will allow TYAN to flexibly address the demands for 40Gb/s InfiniBand and 10 Gigabit Ethernet with Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) over the same hardware platform.
