I use Mellanox ConnectX-5 Dual QSFP+ 100Gbit Ethernet cards in my OpenStack private cloud at my business. Mellanox has been instrumental in running flash Ceph arrays by pushing the speed envelope beyond what the Intel/Cisco's of the world are doing.

Mellanox has also embraced bringing RDMA to things like Ceph and working with the broader vendor ecosystem like Red Hat for using this in production.

I hope Nvidia doesn't taint the good reputation of this company.
