Vendor Overview and Outlook: Mellanox in HPC

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Intersect360 Research report presents an overview and outlook for Mellanox in the worldwide high performance computing (HPC) market, as of December
2019.

Mellanox is a major vendor of networking solutions for the worldwide HPC market. Because networking components are often embedded into the price of larger
systems (e.g., server clusters or storage systems), Intersect360 Research does not provide estimates of Mellanox’s revenue from HPC. Intersect360 Research
does track mentions of Mellanox as an interconnect provider for systems, storage, and local area networks (LANs) by users polled in our HPC Site Census
survey.

Drawing on market tracking and surveys from the Intersect360 Research HPC advisory service, this report includes:

  • Data on spending on networks at a category level within HPC
  • Data from Intersect360 Research end-user surveys on Mellanox’s market position within HPC
  • SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)
  • Recommendations to Mellanox
