MLNX

MLNX is a colloquial term often used to refer to Mellanox Technologies, a company that was a leading supplier of high-performance networking and communication solutions. Founded in 1999, Mellanox specialized in InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnects, providing adapters, switches, cables, and software for various markets including high-performance computing (HPC), data centers, cloud computing, and storage. Their products were known for their speed and low latency, crucial for demanding applications. In 2020, Mellanox Technologies was acquired by NVIDIA Corporation, a major player in graphics processing units (GPUs) and artificial intelligence. Following the acquisition, Mellanox's products and technologies were integrated into NVIDIA's broader networking portfolio, contributing to NVIDIA's strategy in high-performance computing and data center solutions. The term "MLNX" is sometimes still used informally when discussing products or technologies that originated from Mellanox Technologies, even after its integration into NVIDIA. This can include specific product lines or technical specifications associated with their former offerings.
