Company Background
 Established 1999 * NASDAQ: MLNX
 End-to-end Ethernet Connectivity Solutions –
Adapters, Switches, Cables, Software, Support
↓ Lower Deal Pricing
1 One Support Call
 World-class, non-outsourced technical support
 Trusted as switch manufacturer for major server
OEM
MELLANOX: THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE CHIP
• Founded as a state-of-the-art silicon chip (ASIC) manufacturer
• Intelligence built directly onto our own chip
• Other switch vendors are forced to source expensive ASICs
from third parties such as Broadcom
• Mellanox uses own chip & passes savings to customers
DENSITY & SCALE
 Most ports in smallest footprint
 Unique form factors & port
counts
Deploy redundant ½ rack
switches side-by-side in 1U
 Lowest power consumption
 Use fixed switches to build
scalable, affordable networks
VALUE & FUTURE PROOF
 Best price performance
(30-50% better $ per GbE)
 40GbE for the price of 10GbE
 Future Proof 10GbE w/
25GbE/40GbE capability
 100GbE uplinks – 2.5 times
better than 40GbE due to
fewer cables
PERFORMANCE
 Predictable Performance
 Fair throughput for all ports
 Never drop packets
 Lowest Latency
 Expedited delivery using
cut through vs. store &
forward

Main Benefits
Mellanox designs &
builds intelligent ASICs
that power switches,
adapters,
& cables
FLASH STORAGE
Fast data access for block and
file storage – fast interconnects
prevent network being the
bottleneck
SCALE-OUT STORAGE
Combines compute & storage,
easier to manage & lowers cost –
top of rack switch with density at
lower price point most attractive
MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT
Video streaming & post-
production on 4k/8k workflows –
needs extreme high bandwidth
to support real-time frame-rates
VIRTUALIZATION
Eliminates under-utilization while
increasing flexibility – Mellanox offers
seamless workload mobility and VM
routing while removing L2 boundaries
CLOUD
Create economies of scale
through shared services – open
switch platform with fairness
best for software-defined DC.
BIG DATA
Improved analytics for better
business decisions – needs
non-blocking architecture to
speed data ingestion.
