Mellanox Technologies Ltd. (Hebrew: מלאנוקס טכנולוגיות בע"מ) was an Israeli-American multinational supplier of computer networking products based on InfiniBand and Ethernet technology. Mellanox offered adapters, switches, software, cables and silicon for markets including high-performance computing, data centers, cloud computing, computer data storage and financial services.[3]

On March 11, 2019, Nvidia announced its intent to acquire the company for $6.9 billion.[4][5] Other companies willing to acquire Mellanox were Intel, Xilinx and Microsoft.[6] The deal closed on April 27, 2020, with approval from the EU, U.S. and Chinese antitrust authorities.[7]

The company was integrated into Nvidia's networking division in 2020 and Nvidia stopped using the brand name "Mellanox" for its new networking products.
