Mellanox Networking with Nutanix

A Mellanox networking solution can deliver predictability, linear scalability, and maximum throughput, thanks to complementary software-defined networking (SDN) technology and integration with automation platforms such as Salt, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet. As datacenter devices keep getting faster, it’s important to make sure your network can provide enough bandwidth to keep up.

In this document, we illustrate various ways to lay out a leaf-spine network to achieve scale and density, configuring Nutanix clusters ranging from 40 up to 720 nodes. Designing and implementing a resilient and scalable network architecture ensures consistent performance and availability when scaling Nutanix appliances.
