The price of Mellanox Switches is reasonable compared to other solutions. The price and quality ratio was very good. There is a one-time license purchase that is needed. I rate the price of Mellanox Switches an eight out of ten.

What is an Ethernet switch? An Ethernet switch connects devices like computers, laptops, servers, and printers to a local area network (LAN) and to each other. The switch then functions as a central connecting station.
You can boost the Ethernet’s capacity by wiring switches to each other. Unlike routers, Ethernet switches use multiple ports to enable devices in the LAN. Unmanaged switches are a type of plug-in switch that will work when connected, without the need to configure them...
