NVIDIA Fully Absorbs Mellanox Technologies, Now Called NVIDIA Networking
NVIDIA over the weekend formally renamed Mellanox Technologies to NVIDIA Networking. The graphics and scalar computing giant had acquired Mellanox in April 2020, in a deal valued at $7 billion. It is expected that the NVIDIA corporate identity will cover all Mellanox products, including NICs, switches, and interconnect solutions targeted at large-scale data-centers and HPC environments. Mellanox website now defaults to NVIDIA, with the announcement banner "Mellanox Technologies is now NVIDIA Networking." With the acquisition of Mellanox, a potential bid for Softbank's Arm Holdings, and market leadership in the scalar compute industry, NVIDIA moves close to becoming an end-to-end enterprise solution provider.

iswas futile.'1. Price Our company does major Hotel installs like Hilton, Marriott, even the trump hotels. Bottom line is crucial to network installs. Most of the time we use cisco or HP or brocade switches. All depends on price.
2. Quality will it live up to specs and will it work with others. This is another major thing. This is the one reason why ubiquiti is not recommended in any install because they will not work well together with others.
3. Programmability has to be simple and work. There is many VLANs in hotel installs. Wifi, LAN, Camera, BOH, FOH, Elevators, Staff, Private Wifi, etc. All has to be done.
4. This is my personal experince. Connectors have to be easy to get and work. I ran into many issues with SFP connectors. Most newer hotels all run 12 strand fiber.
There is no booming any more at data centers within EU.
The products Mellanox made went into the products you're using.
It's unlikely Nvidia will start competing with its customers at this point.
Yes, they will use this tech in some of their servers, but again, nothing to do with what you're working with.
It helps if you understand the subject you're commenting on, as it makes for comments that are in topic, rather than some random rant.
Oh and what you seemingly are working with, isn't considered high-end.
Anti-trust !!!!
WAKE UP REGULATORS !!!!
