Nvidia to buy Mellanox Technologies, which makes chips and other hardware for data center servers, for $6.9B
a rich multiple the result of a bidding war with Intel and Xilinx. But once again, what are they really buying? Jeremy Eder / @jeremyeder : This makes a ton of sense to me. We've been working extensively with both @nvidia and @mellanoxtech over the last few years in the Kubernetes space (and before that, KVM and OpenStack). Amazing partners, always. Looking fwd to continued success for all. http://twitter.com/... Ken Yeung / @thekenyeung : Nvidia beating Microsoft and Intel for Mellanox...is that good or bad? Was Nvidia an underdog? @technology : Chipmaker Nvidia will buy Mellanox for $6.9 billion to accelerate its push into the data center http://www.bloomberg.com/... @etherealmind : This will create some change in the second tier of NIC and switch makers.
