  Why Do WeNeed Data Center Co-locations?  Constant demand for more – more compute, more storage, and more bandwidth  Moving from a localized data center to multipoint meshed data centers / cloud paradigm  Data center power and space limitations require multiple data centers to be built 36% of data centers respondents said their facility would run out of power, cooling or space in 2012; 60% claimed they would need to build new data center(s) and perform upgrade over the next 3 years * * May 2011- “Annual Data Center Survey” – Uptime Institute © 2013 Mellanox Technologies 2

  Why Utilize Wavelength-DivisionMultiplexing (WDM)?  Without WDM, each fiber link can only carry a single service  Placing fiber in the ground is costly  Need approvals, permits to dig  Need collaboration between authorities  For long distances - Amplification © 2013 Mellanox Technologies 6

  Purdue Success Story Purdue University successfully deployed 4 MetroX TX6100 systems over six kilometers  Connect Purdue computation clusters to the storage facilities  MetroX allowed organizing assets in limited data-center space more flexibly “A common problem is the time cost of moving data between datacenters, which can slow computations and delay results. Mellanox's MetroX lets us unify systems across campus, and maintain the high-speed access our researchers need, regardless of the physical location of their work.” Mike Shuey, Purdue University © 2013 Mellanox Technologies 9
