Australien OrionVM Retail Selected Mellanox IB

Mellanox
Technologies Ltd announced its IB
solutions have been integrated in Australian cloud service provider, OrionVM Retail Pty Ltd,
enterprise private and public clouds, who is now standardizing on IB for their
enterprise deployments around the world.

OrionVM’s customers range from government agencies and web services providers
to financial services organizations in WW deployments.

OrionVM provides customers with a cloud
platform to build and scale applications and websites on demand, instead of
managing servers and networks. Mellanox IB enabled OrionVM to reduce the price
point at which they were able to offer solutions to customers. Utilizing IB and
their distributed storage system, OrionVM is able to offer customers an
higher performance cloud computing platform at a lower price. The
use of IB has reduced OrionVM’s cost of deployment and decreased the complexity
within their data center environments.

"OrionVM
is moving towards using IB in all of its cloud services offerings,"
said Sheng Yeo, OrionVM MD. "We’re
looking to offer our customers the highest bandwidth, lowest latency solutions,
to enable leading and scalable application performance."

OrionVM has been using IB within its own
data center for the past 2.5 years, conducting research around use of the interconnect
for distributed storage and scalable cloud infrastructures. Due to IB’s levels of return on investment and application cost/performance,
OrionVM decided to use IB as the core of the company offering over 10 or 40GbE.

"OrionVM conducted elaborate testing on
Mellanox IB solutions, using a variety of deployment scenarios," said
Marc Sultzbaugh, SVP of WW sales at Mellanox. "Looking at the test results, IB’s key
benefits – extreme low latency, scalability, high throughput per port and
price/performance – were apparent. Mellanox IB was the obvious choice for
OrionVM and for all customers looking to deploy cloud computing solutions with
high-performance compute and high-capacity storage."
