Overall Satisfaction with NVIDIA Mellanox Switches

NVIDIA Mellanox Spectrum switches acting as Top of Rack (TOR) switches in the data center.
  • Supports Cumulus Linux as well as SONic
  • Wide variety of modern network operating system choices
  • Based on Open Ethernet platform
  • low Capex
  • Interoperability with other vendors
  • Bugs
  • Open Ethernet based protocols and platform
  • Support Cumulus Operating System
  • Lower cost than Cisco or Juniper switches
  • Overall seamless integration into the datacenter
  • Better cost per port so higher ROI
Broadcom is quicker is rolling out newer chipset and hardware. But NVIDIA Mellanox has better system integration due to its purchase of Cumulus OS.
