SUNNYVALE, Calif. & YOKNEAM, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NAS: MLNX) (TASE: MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced its SX1036 36-port 40GbE switch system has been selected by Russia's BaltInfoCom as the Ethernet switch of choice to provide customers with 10GbE connectivity to servers and 40/56GbE uplinks for the next level of aggregation switching.


The Mellanox SX1036, based on Mellanox's SwitchX®-2 switch IC, will provide BaltInfoCom's customers the highest-performing fabric by delivering up to 4.03Tb/s of throughput and 220ns latency - a 3X bandwidth improvement and 4X latency improvement over BaltInfoCom's previous offerings.
