NVIDIA Fully Absorbs Mellanox Technologies, Now Called NVIDIA Networking

[btarunr]

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.

Apparently Nvidia have been doomed for the last decade, they mustn't have got the memo yet.

Apparently Nvidia have been doomed for the last decade, they mustn't have got the memo yet.

Don't forget the "PC gaming is dead." We've been hearing for the last 2 decades or so.

What happened to the ARM deal, must be some progress made. There is always chatter and news about a big deal like this.

Well, this doesn't look good to anyone expecting Nvidia to play nice with arm under it's control.

If I were to guess, NVIDIA is lubricating competition regulators around the world right now. Buying Arm wasn't easy for Softbank, and it will be just as hard (if not harder) for NVIDIA. Money is the easy part.

All depends on 3 factors if they want to get into the High end industry.

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.

Until they become "too big to fail".

I think that they come too late in this arena.
There is no booming any more at data centers within EU.

And this has exactly what to do with Nvidia/Mellanox?
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.

 

[Lycanwolfen]

It was not a rant. I was just listing the facts thats all in our industry. Do you work in the hotel industry.

They've had NICs for decades
