The company is currently shipping hundreds of thousands of Ethernet adapters every quarter, reflecting a growing demand for Mellanox Ethernet solutions. "We are proud to see our 25GbE solutions being deployed with our partner ODMs' top-class servers, enabling the most cost-effective Ethernet connectivity for Hyperscale and cloud infrastructures," said Gilad Shainer, vice president of marketing at Mellanox Technologies. "The state-of-the-art 25GbE speed provides superior price/performance advantages compared to 10GbE fabric, maximizing the data center return on investment." Since 2016, Wiwynn® Corporation, a leading cloud infrastructure provider of high quality computing and storage products, has shipped its OCP server SV7221G2 product family with the Mellanox 25GbE ConnectX-4 Lx OCP Mezzanine NICs and PCIe cards to major Internet service providers. "With Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx cards, our OCP server SV7221G2 product family can provide the advanced 25GbE features our customers need," said Steven Lu, chief of product marketing at Wiwynn. "We see the market evolving into the 25Gb/s era and we are proud to be at the leading edge, helping to advance the market."
