Mellanox published last week what was, in my opinion, one of its most important announcements in recent years. It reported that Google (GOOG) scientists recently presented switch-based solutions built with InfiniBand technology, which reduces energy costs by up to 85% in large data storage centers.

One doesn't have to use too many words to describe the importance of Google as a giant consumer of data storage in ten centers across the US and outside it. It is also known that one of the biggest problems that it has at these data centers is the huge electricity usage because of tremendous cooling costs. This announcement essentially says that, even if indirectly, Google is buying Mellanox solutions. Mellanox leads the InfiniBand sector, and there is no reason to publish the notice, which includes a quote by Mellanox CEO Eyal Waldman, if Google was not a customer.
