The Skyway enables a scalable way to connect the performance, low-latency IB data center to external Ethernet infrastructures or connectivity. It is the next generation of the existing 56Gb FDR IB to 40GbE gateway system, deployed in multiple data centers around the world.

HPC, AI, data-intensive and cloud infrastructures leverage IB‘s high data throughput, low latency, and smart In-Network Computing acceleration engines to deliver application performance and scalability. For cases requiring connectivity into external Ethernet-based platforms, the company offers the Skyway appliance, a 1.6Tb/s IB to Ethernet gateway appliance, supporting eight 100 or 200Gb ports on each of the IB and Ethernet sides. IT managers can scale the number of Skyway appliances over time to meet the demands of their users.

By leveraging the Skyway appliance, IB data centers can maintain their lowest interconnect latency to ensure applications performance. Other non-Ethernet or proprietary network providers offer network-integrated or silicon-integrated gateways to Ethernet, which impose higher interconnect latency within the data center that can reduce the overall data center performance.

Our mission is to ensure highest data center application performance, lowest communication latency, and best return-on-investment. For those customers who require external Ethernet connectivity to their IB data centers, Mellanox Skyway offers the most effective and efficient bridge solution between 100/200Gb IB and 100/200GbE, while maintaining the lowest InfiniBand latency within the data center,” said Gilad Shainer, SVP, marketing, Mellanox. “200Gb HDR IB offers great performance advantages, smart In-Network Computing acceleration engines, and cost-performance advantages, making it the leading interconnect technology for high performance infrastructures. Skyway enables a scalable and effective path from IB to Ethernet, which can scale as needed to meet the current and future data center needs.
