OpenStack Software Adding Native Upstream Support for Mellanox HDR 200Gb IB

Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. announced that OpenStack software includes native and upstream support for virtualization over HDR 200 Gb IB network, enabling customers to build performance OpenStack-based cloud services over the most enhanced interconnect infrastructure, taking advantage of IB’s low latency, high data-throughput, inn network computing and more.

By leveraging the upstream OpenStack ‘Train’ software release, data center managers and providers can build and offer cloud platforms based on 200Gb IB virtualization. TripleO (OpenStack On OpenStack), which is used for installing, upgrading, and operating OpenStack clouds at data center scale, also natively supports HDR IB as well as earlier speed gens.

“As a leading interconnect solution for high performance, AI and other compute and data intensive applications, IB empowers many of the world’s supercomputing and hyperscale cloud platforms,” said Gilad Shainer, SVP, marketing, Mellanox. “The native open source OpenStack software support for HDR IB, including advanced features such as In-Network Computing, simplifies the adoption and usage of IB in more small and mid-scale enterprise and cloud infrastructures.“
