Oracle CEO Sees Expansion of InfiniBand
Larry Ellison Expects Modern InfiniBand to Expand into More Applications; Superior Technology Expected to Provide a Strategic Differentiation for Oracle
During Oracle’s recent earnings conference call, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison noted that the Oracle Sun Exadata - with Mellanox InfiniBand - continues to gain market adoption with its stunning database and transaction performance at over 10X of that of its competitors. Ellison also spoke to Oracle’s intention to port additional middleware and applications over the InfiniBand network, and across its wide array of server and storage system products lines through its Sun acquisition further expanding the use of InfiniBand technology.
“Oracle’s recent statements are a testament to the performance capabilities of InfiniBand and the return-on-investment value our technology brings to businesses across multiple markets,” said Eyal Waldman, chairman, president and CEO of Mellanox Technologies. “We are excited to see the increase in applications utilizing Mellanox InfiniBand technology in the multiple markets where it is deployed, including high-performance computing, enterprise, cloud, Web 2.0 and storage.”
