“Mellanox delivered record revenue and cash flow from operations in the third quarter, with growth across all our major product lines. Sales of our Ethernet adapter solutions grew 28% quarter-over-quarter, and continue to lead the market for data rates of 25 gigabit per second and above. We started shipping ConnectX-6 Dx, the world’s first 200 gigabit per second Ethernet adapter with built in crypto acceleration, which will allow security to be deployed throughout enterprise and cloud data centers. We are also seeing healthy adoption of our Ethernet switches across a broad range of data center applications, including hyperscale, cloud, storage, and financial markets, resulting in 25% growth over the prior quarter,” said Eyal Waldman, president and CEO of Mellanox Technologies. “Our InfiniBand solutions grew as well, driven by the ramp of our 200 gigabit per second HDR solutions in the high performance computing, artificial intelligence, cloud, and storage market segments. As one key example, Microsoft is now offering InfiniBand HDR connected nodes in the Azure cloud for high performance computing workloads,” continued Waldman. “We are pleased with the strong traction of our adapters and switches in the data center, as well as our solid financial results for the third quarter.”
