※最後にもう一つプレスリリースがあります

"Mellanox Introduces World's First High Density, 36-Port 40 Gigabit
 Ethernet Switches for Superior Server and Storage Connectivity"
 May 9, 2011
  http://www.mellanox.com/content/pages.php?pg=press_release_item&rec_id=551

  "Based on the company's recently announced, performance-leading
   SwitchX switch silicon ICs, the SX-1000 series delivers up to
   2.88Tb/s of switching in a single 1U device."



SX-1000 Product Details
----------------------------------------
The SX1035 and SX1036 of 40GbE 1U switches deliver industry-leading
latency performance (230ns at 40GbE and 250ns at 10GbE) with ultra-low
power (6.5W per 40GbE port and 3.6W per 10GbE port) and offer flexible
configurations such as:

*) 36-port 40GbE
*) 64-port 10GbE - using QSFP to four SFP+ breakout cables
*) 56 10GbE and eight 40GbE - using QSFP to four SFP+ breakout cables
*) 48 10GbE and 12 40GbE - using QSFP to four SFP+ breakout cables

Product Briefによると、SX1035は "Lite L2" switchということで、
いくつかの機能が SX1036から外されています。対応するソフトウェアも
違うかもしれません。

一応もう一つのプレスリリースもご参考までに：
"Mellanox Accelerates Hadoop and Memcached for Web 2.0 Applications"
 May 9, 2011
  http://www.mellanox.com/content/pages.php?pg=press_release_item&rec_id=552

  "The Hadoop performance results, demonstrated with the known Terasort
   benchmark (an I/O intensive benchmark for Hadoop), showed that the
   total job runtime was cut in half when using Hadoop-Direct  and
   Mellanox RDMA-enabled ConnectX-2 InfiniBand or 10GbE with RoCE-enabled
   network adapters compared to traditional Ethernet alternatives.
   Hadoop-Direct is transparent to Hadoop users and applications, and
   does not require any modification for existing application and usage
   models."
