A couple of months ago, NVIDIA
completed its $7 billion acquisition of networking technology firm Mellanox. The Mellanox name is now no longer in use as NVIDIA has renamed the business unit to "NVIDIA Networking".
Modern data centers run distributed applications across a composable infrastructure consisting of disaggregated GPUs, CPUs, memory and storage that require flexible, high-speed connections. NVIDIA networking accelerates and offloads data transfers to ensure compute resources never “go hungry” due to lack of data or bandwidth. Smart adapters and switches reduce latency, increase efficiency, enhance security, and simplify data center automation so applications run faster.
