The increased number of database requests caused by the mobile revolution is testing the traditional model for database infrastructure. In recent years, the acceptable unavailability of services has reduced from days to hours. This poses a significant challenge for enterprises balancing costs against service delivery. How can tens-of-millions of database requests be handled in real-time, day in, day out?
Mellanox's end-to-end interconnect solutions support the deployment of a single database across a cluster of servers, providing superior fault tolerance, performance and scalability, without changing applications. Combine this benefit with improved RTO (recovery time objective), continuous uptime for database applications, on-demand scalability, and superior performance, and the headache of handling tens-of-millions of database requests is reduced.
To enable these benefits, Mellanox solutions deliver the following features:
- Fastest interconnect adapters with 10, 40, and 56Gb/s bandwidth per port and sub 1 μs latency
- Full OS bypass and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)
- S superior high availability solution based on lossless interconnect technology
- I/O consolidation of server-to-server and server-to-storage over a single wire
- Cost-effective, high-density switches and fabric architecture
